is gnome.message replaced message.elyssa ?

[Dupo]

Hi everybody,

in Mint 5, there was a file name message.elyssa in /etc/grub. In Mint 6 this file doesn't exist, then I searched for message.felicia, and the only file I found is gnome.message in /boot/gfxmenu.

Can you tell me is gnome.message is the new message.elyssa ?

Thanks.

Bye.

Yes, but I'm not sure if they are quite compatible, we did change a bit (because we had to)

Hi Husse,

ok, I know now that gnome.message is the "new" message.elyssa.

I have other questions about grub and gfxmenu of Mint :

- Do you know how to modify a .tr file (ex: en.tr) ? because I want to translate it in French.
- Do you know how to translate the entire Grub gfxmenu of linux Mint (menulist, etc) ?

Then I will give you all files translated (fr.tr, fr.hlp and others files if necessary).

Bye and thanks for your help.

This is a bit over my head. But this is something we're grateful for.
I'll see if someone in the team is interested and if so he'll get back to you

[Dupo]

Well, so I expect a reply from your team.

Bye.

Hi Linux Mint team,

I made fr.hlp and fr.tr. I also modified isolinux.cfg and isolinux.txt for french people. These files are for the first boot screen of the LiveDVD. If you are interested, I can send you these files.

Bye.

I think the holiday season brings things to a halt right now

[Dupo]

Ok, I keep the files for now. When you are ready, tell me.

Bye.

I do have translations of the help somewhere, but I'm not sure if it's up to date.
I have tried compiling the translations into the message file, but had problems.
I got it to load but I think it automatically switches the keyboard layout.
I had it so you could switch the language but changing it caused problems.
When I get more time I'll try again.
I am thinking of just using one language for each message file.

Hi merlwiz79,

I can send you the files I made (fr.hlp and fr.tr for first boot screen of the LiveDVD) and (fr.hlp and fr.tr for grub-gfxboot Mint screen). I made them last days for Mint 6 Felicia.
If you received my personnal message, I said that I had modify directly isolinux.cfg and isolinux.txt in isolinux directory of the iso file to have french translations. Now, I can choose english or french in liveDVD boot screen without problems.

For grub-gfxboot, only menu list is still in english, else, it's translated in french. I made a gnome.message with english and french files, but I put a file named : lang, where I defined only : fr . When I boot, a part of the screen is in French (Bottom of the screen).

Tell me if you are interested by my files, I will give you them.

Bye.
