Well as the Topic says, is it possible to localize Ambient? Or is it allready localized but the locale Files are just missing? If so, is it possible to create my own? How?

ambient.cd is in the source archive.
Guess thats all you need to create
a catalog.

I would like to see my MorphOS in greek language

Ambient supports localization but everything is not localized yet. Maybe in Ambient 1.42.

Do you mean Ambient open source ?

@Phantom206

This is a must, but I need Polytonic Greek. I sthere any word whether socalisations will ever come to fruition? I ask as Pegasos 1's will make their way to Greece soon (as according to BBRV's new Blog), so a Polytonic Greek capability is of utmost importance


Sorry to bump up this oldish thread, but I really need to find out!

My MorphOS speaks fluent finnish

@hooligan

Bah!:-D


Does it work seamlessly in word procssing documents?

Why not open a bounty to finish Ambient localisation ?
That would at least make a realistic one.

Why, the Greek language is really that important to you? (I thought you were living down under)

That's a really good idea, actually! This is something within reach, and would be of interest to lots of people. If you want your own language supported, throw in some dollars in the bucket, and it might actually happen!

hehe, true, I do live in Oz, it is quite important (actually forms a major component) in my line of work, especially in its Polytonic form, not so much in its modern Monotonic form.


-edit-

re: Bounty: I'll be sure to put in cash for this if it is put forth.8-)

Bah! I'll pay for your tuition fees to learn Ancient Greek

Yeahh ! I always wanted to learn Greek :)

AFAIK, Ambient catalogs don't work now.
Ambient must be reworked to support catalogs.

Don't tell me that!

To all those responsible: Please allow for it!

@Leo

hehe. Although Koine Greek would be "simpler";-)

Ambient supports localization but everything is not localizable yet.

Ah, I see, thanks itix.

I have never seen any Ambient catalog working - even not the few strings, that are included in it. We discussed this problem at Ambient IRC 2 months ago and I have come to an opinion, that the localization hasn't worked yet. I tried to create czech catalog without any success

Why dont make MorphOS unicode (utf-8) compatible? Its backwardcompatible, and have suberp support for different signs and letters.

Just an idea,...


Michal

Unicode support into MorphOS could be the best thing for supporting a lot of languages, it's very interesting, a bounty petition is needed.

About bounties, mos team developers can get the money if they do it, no?

Wont' you need to rewrite large parts of the OS and apps to get UTF-ū supported ? Or maybe new APIs would be enough ?
