Hi,
I worked a little bit on the French installer and translated it in Turkish. Mateusz's utf8tocp tool was really helpful to get the French file into utf8 :) I uploaded a tarball at <http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=26330290422109269122>, you can find these files both in UTF8 and in code page format. I hope it's not too late to get the Turkish version included in the next RC so that they can be tested by users and get included in the next stable release. It would also be nice to include the Turkish installer because soon (in a few days) the Turkish translation at http://freedoslocal.sourceforge.net/ will be done at 100% (only freecom_lng left), and, last but not least, because many computer manufacturers sell computers with FreeDOS installed in Turkey so that users don't have to pay for Windows. If, as I hope, Turkish is included, it would be necessary to add two more keyboard layouts to the installer: Turkish F (more information on <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin-script_non-QWERTY_keyboards#Turkish_.28F-keyboard.29> and Turkish QWERTY (more information on <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY#Turkish_.28Q-keyboard.29>). Thanks for reading this and needless to say, feel free to yell at me if I can do something more (or if I did something wrong). ---- Message d'origine ---- De : "Jerome E.

Date : 04/11/2016 01:33:34 CET (...) The installer is pure batch file logic that uses external utilities. Mostly, powered by FreeCOM and V8 Power Tools, The language files are text resource files that include some variables and formatting switches. Some of the embedded comments in those files are a little outdated. But, take a look at https://github.com/shidel/FDI/blob/master/LANGUAGE/EN/FDSETUP.DEF and https://github.com/shidel/FDI/blob/master/LANGUAGE/FR/FDSETUP.DEF They are a little complicated to read. But, not to bad once you get the hang of them. At present, only standard the Standard DOS latin character set is supported. Both UNIX (LF) and Windows (CRLF) line endings are supported. The best way to work on a language is by installing FreeDOS into DOSBox, downloading the github sources and using the TestLang.bat utility. But, that is kind of complex to get setup correctly. I really need to work on the wiki and manual for the installer. :-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
