[opensuse-translation] Localized LiveCD
Hello fellow translators, I'm trying to make a localized liveCD in Walloon with kiwi and openSUSE 11.1. I managed to make a first testing ISO that's quite good but we might still work a bit on it and on the selection of programs. Announce (sorry it isn't in English) is there: http://walotux.walon.org/spip.php?article30 These were the main issues: - To add translations of minors language to your ISO you must add many packages like "bundle-lang-common" that ships many minor languages and make your ISO too big for a CD. My workaround was to copy the MO files directly to the sources of the image without using the packages. That works but is not very clean. - With kiwi, if you set a language to your live CD, it won't affect your Desktop that will remain in English. You have to change by hand the config files of KDE and ".profile". - Also a problem of keyboard (QWERTY), but I might find the trick. If some people are interested, I could make a post on it, in English, on my website. My two questions are: - Is/was there any plan to make live CD in other languages, mainstream or not? For mainstream languages (FR, ES, IT...) you could put a few languages on the same CD (as Mandriva does). I think on the official on is there only EN and DE. - Is there room on the openSUSE servers to host images of community liveCD such as mine, as long as they respect the new trademark guidelines? How do other projects? My ISO is for now hosted on TuxFamily. Thanks for your reactions and feedbacks.

Cool, glad to hear!

I suggest to ask this on the -project mailing lust. Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
