[Musix-users] Help with translations

Thu Jun 30 17:47:20 CEST 2011

Hi !

Thanks a lot for your kind advice.
I have learned quite a few things how to operate the terminal. 
Your instructions were followed accordingly.
Everything went right until no. 8: running the script, which was evidently
not done?!
When I opened afterwards icewm folder, I found both files menu-old and new
the same without translation.
What is worse, after computer further restart I found all the previous
changes cancelled and only the original attachment copied to /home/musixuser
remained in place.
Thus I have realized again, that Musix2 in live mode even on usb stick, but
without persistent property could not be corrected, ev. tested etc.
I could try to install again Musix2 in live mode on usb, but I need the
detailed instructions how to make it as persistent!

So I kindly ask for further help and advice.

Best regards

Jerzy

Dear Jerzy:

Here are the detailed instructions. They are ok for both musix 2 or 3.
The only issue is that I cant recall what's default user in musix 2
live mode. Beta version of musix 3 (it is alpha in fact, but
mistakenly I call it beta) is available only in spanish. Thats one of
the reasons it is not available at Musix's website or wiki.

1. Download the attachment to the user's home folder (that would be
/home/musixuser, correct this in case default user is not musixuser,
its been a while since I last used musix 2).

2. Open a terminal. Then type:

tar xfv update_menu.tar.gz

3. This will decompress the file. You will have now a new folder named
"update_menu". Now we have to change into that directory:

cd update_menu

4. In this directory there are two files and three folders. One of the
files is the script. We are now changing the script's permissions to
make it executable (this step is new and just in case):

chmod +x icewm_update_menu.sh

5. Now we copy the script to the bin folder, we need root privileges
to do that, we type:

sudo cp icewm_update_menu.sh /bin/

6. Then we copy the translation file to the locale folder. We also
need sudo command to get root privileges. In this case we type:

sudo cp pl/icewm_update_menu.sh.mo /usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/

7. We make a backup of the current menu, just in case:

cp ~/.icewm/menu ~/.icewm/menu-old

8. Now we run the script, typing:

icewm_update_menu

9. We wait a few seconds for the process to finish. Then check if the
menu is correct with the translation in polish.

Please any question or issue you have don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers!
Ariel.
