Tiny Core going international ?
« on: August 05, 2009, 05:01:28 PM »
Any chance adding international input method support ? Already know we can add additional or foreign fonts to either of these directories
/usr/share/fonts ,
/usr/local/share/fonts, and
~/.fonts.

But there's no input method available in  tce. I know you guys rock ! Like to see TC with multi language support, so more people can use this great software.

IBus ? If it's possible.

Thanks in advance cause I know you guys can do it.  ;D

The Xorg extension allows for international keyboard input.  That combined with fonts, -locales extensions should provide a pretty good environment.   

How to's for particular language setups are welcome.

bmarkus,
Population wise I would suggest; Simplify Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish.....

Jason W,
The Xorg extension can Localize but not Intanationalize (one at a time) vs (Multi Languages).
not quite understand what you mean:
Code: [Select]
How to's for particular language setups are welcome.
I would also like to suggest categorize the tce / tcz Repositories instead of everything in one place.

Hope this is possible.

Interesting topic!

Ever installed SCIM in other distros that quite good for switching language. Anyone can make it up?

Tinycore is a great distro ... small and fast. Now it's my main OS.
