Português - Portuguese site about Puppy

#1 Post by Marcos Santos »

Hi everybody,
I created a site about Puppy Linux to help who speaks portuguese.
http://solucoespuppylinux.webnode.com/
I need suggestions to make it better.
Thanks
Marcos Santos

The first consideration for me that comes to mind is that Rox-filer is not configured by default to display correctly the special characters of Portuguese (and of many other languages, of course). One way to change this is:

1) Right click on any mounted or unmounted drive.
2) Go to "Rox-filer"
3) Click on "Options"
4) Tick "Portuguese (Portugal)" or "Portuguese (Brasil)". I think that ticking the "Use the LANG environment variable" also works.
5) Hit "OK"
6) Done!

I hope this helps.

Carlos Albert, thanks your suggestion.
But, I was looking inside Rox-filer and on the new Puppy there's no option to setup language.
About site, the installation session is going to complete.
Thanks,

Marcos, does that mean that the special Portuguese characters are shown on your version of Rox-filer by default (without any configuration)?

Carlos, Yes.
See screen, there's no option to setup language there, only in Personalizy Settings.
Thanks

Olá pessoal,
O site conta agora com um novo slogan cedido gentilmente por um amigo,
um campo para que os usuários possam estar enviando seus screens relatando o proveito que estão tirando do Puppy e do site.
Esta semana acrescentarei informações sobre internet e também mais dados sobre instalação.
Grato,

Marcos, my Rox-filer has that option under "Translation" which is on top of "Filer Windows". Just for the record, it is version 2.6.1. Unluckily, my alternative file manager, Thunar, is not compatible with the special Portuguese characters, and Thunar (or at least my Thunar) doesn't have an option for languages as opposed to my Rox-filer that does. One way or another, I will tackle that problem later on.
