Translations #263

Closed alphamodh0 closed 2 years ago

alphamodh0 commented 2 years ago

My father today started using my laptop for certain jobs. Any way to install the translations made in weblate without changing helloSystem 0.6 or reinstalling the system?

probonopd commented 2 years ago

@alphamodh0 the translations should be on the ISO already. Which translations are you missing?

alphamodh0 commented 2 years ago

The system never asked me during the installation the language I wanted to use and I cannot find in configuration. Any way to change the language (keyboard only) and since I speak Spanish and I have an English keyboard, I use en-US with dead keys in Alt-Grnd.

¿Any way to configure language?

probonopd commented 2 years ago

Currently two ways for setting the language are implemented:

On Macs, the language from the EFI variable set by macOS is used. Once https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=251025 is fixed it will be possible to write this EFI variable from within helloSystem
Using a Raspberry Pi keyboard, the correct language for the keyboard and the system will be set automatically based on the language of the keyboard

(Workaround in the meantime: If none of those work for you, you can set the EFI variable 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82-prev-lang:kbd e.g., from Linux.)

We track this topic in https://github.com/helloSystem/hello/issues/36.

So on neither pi keyboard nor mac there is no way to change it for 'mere mortals'

alphamodh0 commented 2 years ago

I would prefer a standard setup menu one way: Menu, Change Language, Spanish. Menu, Change Keyboard, Spanish. In addition to that it would allow to select a keyboard different from the spoken language, or to select varieties of keyboards.
