If there's libvgl-based multilingual console or multilingual sysinstall, I'll use this of course, but there's not such stuff, and I have had no time to write it. sysinstall fork-and-exec's kon2 and redirect console output to kon2 via pty. > - how did you deal with message files There were changes between 4.1.1 multilingual sysinstall and 3.x/2.x ones. But both uses non-standard way because of historical reason. If somebody can rewrite it in standard way (if there's standard way in FreeBSD), we prefer it than current implementation. Current implementation is pre-alpha status and available at http://people.FreeBSD.org/boot-ja/ and latest one is at http://people.FreeBSD.org/~hosokawa/boot-ja/release-20001019-2/ If you type "make updatesysinstall" at release/localization/catalog, it semi-automatically updates catalog files and prepare skeleton catalog for new message newly introduced to release/sysinstall/*.c. Messages in release/sysinstall/*.c are stored in release/localization/{ja,ko}/*_c.txt and compiled in one catalog file when you executed "make boot.flp" or of course "make release", > - future plans o merge into -current and MFC to 4-stable, o implement libvgl-based console or multilingual syscons, o convert catalog model to FreeBSD-standard framework, o implement European language version, etc. Thanks. -- Tatsumi Hosokawa <hosokawa@sm.rim.or.jp> http://www.sm.rim.or.jp/~hosokawa/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-i18n" in the body of the message
