hi, just been looking at the NSIS web site: http://www.nullsoft.com/free/nsis/ and I seem to have been using quite an old (but stable) version. NSIS 2 now supports multiple languages.
The basic framework has been translated into 35 languages and it is possible to define additional language files that can be translated by a native speaker later (a bit like gettext() I guess). The only 'catch' seems to be that it is at the release-candidate-1 stage. Regarding my participation in the Tux Paint project: If someone else wants to look after the win32 versions and the installer, please step-up now, as I would like to step-down. It would be good timing for me as I start directing my spare-time efforts to other projects. I will fallback into lurk-mode on this list, but remain available for testing and bug-hunting on Linux (SuSE 7.3, Gentoo) or Windows (98SE/2K/XP). I have thoroughly enjoyed helping out with Tux Paint and thank Bill especially for giving me the opportunity and making it great fun! best wishes to all of you for the coming new year, cheers, John Popplewell. -- On Sunday 28 December 2003 6:43 am, Bill Kendrick wrote: > I have placed Mugunth's Tux Paint 0.9.13 + Stamps 2003.12.23 + Tamil update > installer for Windows (itself, translated to Tamil), on SourceForge, and > added a link on the TP website. > > http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint/download/windows/ > > (Also, see Mugunth's email to me below) > > ... > > > John and others, it'd be good if we could get the Windows installer > to detect locale when it starts up (and perhaps even have a language choice > as the first step of installing, so the other installation steps will > appear in the right language). > > > Also, I might be asking for a lot, but it might be cool to have the > Windows Installer app for Tux Paint ask a few questions about configuration > (like what language to use, full screen enabled or not, etc.) and then > write out a "tuxpaint.cfg" automatically. > > Ben, it might be neat to have a setup step in the Debian package, too! > Then people could do "dpkg-reconfigure" to get a nice ncurses setup screen > (at least for global configuration). > > > It'd be a very cool nicety! > > > In the future, I'd really like to NOT have 30+ versions of the > EXE installer... not necessarily due to space constraints (although that > can be an issue), but because the Tux Paint website is _already_ pretty > cluttered. :^( > > I'd really hate to hear what a usability expert has to say about it right > now, even. ;^) > > > -bill! > > > ----- Forwarded message from Mugunth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- > > Hi Bill Kendrick, > I have made a full installer (based on John Popplewell's installer not > much change) which will install Tamil version and the stamps at one go. > > I have made this to enable the tamil users to download and install tamil > version without the need for them to tweak the config files to get tamil > display. > > This has been uploaded in our thamizha site(which hosts localised > version of Mozilla 1.5 and other tamil downloads) > > It can be downloaded from this URL: > http://www.thamizha.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=4 > > Can this installer be placed at your windows download site also? > > Once John Popplewell comes out with a installer with language support, > we can make a new installer based on that.
