It has been several days. Are there no volunteers to do Language translations? If not, it will only support English and “Broken” Spanish. https://github.com/shidel/FDI/tree/master/LANGUAGE/TEMPLATE > On Dec 13, 2015, at 5:07 PM, Jerome E. Shidel Jr. wrote: > > Just an

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Additional Languages

I'd say why not do it? If you do it I'm sure it will be used, and it won't hurt the installer to support one more language. :) On Thu, Dec 17, 2015 at 10:48 AM, Maarten Vermeulen wrote: > Well, google translte is not needed, I am dutch. > So I would like to do that, but if

I worry that the new FreeDOS installer is becoming too complex, trying to do all things for every use case and every user. On Sat, Dec 12, 2015 at 11:49 AM, Jerome E. Shidel Jr. wrote: > Tying to decide what to do about a specific upgrade situation regarding > package files.

I don't know anything other than Englishand Binary (hah..hah..).Perhaps Google Translate could help? On Thu, Dec 17, 2015 at 6:16 AM, Maarten Vermeulen wrote: > Is dutch a priority? > Or will it ve used? > If yes, i can do dutch... > -- >

Well, google translte is not needed, I am dutch. So I would like to do that, but if dutch isn't used it doesn't make any sense to translate it. Maarten -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: "JAYDEN CHARBONNEAU" Verzonden: ‎17-‎12-‎2015 16:12 Aan: "Technical discussion

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI

Hello Jim, Mostly, I don’t think it is too complex. It really only has one mode of operation. Fresh install. However, it will make a backup and preserve package data when a user happens to be upgrading. If no language setting was found, the first screen prompts for the language. Next is the

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI

Perhaps implementing some of the code from the older installer (FD1.1)?That allowed you to select your packages on install.We could take some of the code from that and use it for our modern ADVANCED mode. On Thu, Dec 17, 2015 at 12:21 PM, Jerome E. Shidel Jr. wrote: > Hello

Well, there is always the DOS 3.3/4.0 way of doing things - Using SELECT.COM and REPLACE.EXE I am willing to bet no one remembers updating DOS using REPLACE.EXE or installing DOS 4.0(1) using SELECT.COM -Tony On Thu, Dec 17, 2015 at 11:33 AM Jim Hall wrote: > I worry that

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Additional Languages

I have no problem including any submitted language translation for FDI. By it’s inclusion, it would be supported by FDI either through auto-detection or setting the LANG environment variable. I just make no promises that it will be on the Select Language screen. > On Dec 17, 2015, at 10:48 AM,

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Additional Languages

Yeah, I am thinking about translating the 3 files to french... just have a little problem making it a priority. Guess you should not postpone release if you don't get results soon enough. 2015-12-17 12:27 GMT-05:00 Jerome E. Shidel Jr. : > I have no problem including any

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI

It could fit in advanced mode.There will be some people who only need certain packages installed with FreeDOS,or can only fit certain ones.There may be someone using FreeDOS as an embedded network OS,so they would only install the network packages,and the EDIT package. On Thu, Dec 17, 2015 at

I am going to translate the 3 files as well, if I get back a mail from Jim... Is there a dead line? When should it be finsihed? It is 80% sure that i help the other 20% (the mail) is not sure. I hope I can help! Maarten -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: "Paul Dufresne"

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Additional Languages

I'm going to translate those files. The mail to Jim was about sometging else then the packages. Well, I ask the same question to you then: Is the installer a core utillity? :) I will try to finish it as soon as possible, I really have no idea when the release date is -Oorspronkelijk

ANSI came with windows 95 right? If so, dosbox supports ANSI if you have installed 95 on it I looked some videos about that. And I never heared of codepage, so I don't know if it does. ;-) -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: "Paul Dufresne" Verzonden: ‎18-‎12-‎2015

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Additional Languages

I am not sure we can expect most languages could be encoded in CP437 (Code page 437 [IBM]). Maybe a file in CP437 should have something like "CP=850" and then the 3 others file would be encoded in that specific code page. Then the installer could use chcp to select the codepage before
