Hi,
I am working to localize REDHAT in URDU. I have successfully localized Debian systems, Now
I want to ask whether REDHAT has also the same process as of PO files, or its localization
process is different ?
If you know localization process of REDHAT in any Language, please help me or give me
clues.
I shall be thankful to you in advance

Hi there,
Localizing Red Hat should be no different :)
You should first have all the tools set up... like how are you going
to input Urdu text, use which translation tool, etc.
For input, I would suggest, you use scim & m17n-db-arabic packages.
Also, it would be of great help to the community if we can make an
Urdu layout. I maintain the m17n-db package... but my knowledge of
Urdu is very less.
Would you like to help & contribute to the Red Hat & Fedora community?
Thanks,
Mayank

Also, the Fedora font packagers would probably be very interested of the
suitability of the various fonts Fedora Core and Extras ship for Urdu.
(in my particular case, dejavu-full suitability)

Do you use Scim for translations?

Hi Tahir,
I'm attaching a file "ur-phonetic.mim". You can save the file & type
the corresponding urdu character in the file?
Like if a line is like this...
("P" "")
You need to type the urdu character like
("P" "پ")
It will be of great help to Fedora community if you can update this
file with urdu key mappings.
If you face any problems, please let me know or you can contact me
(makuchaku) on #fedora-i18n on irc.freenode.net
Thanks,
Mayank

You dont need to add it to CVS... I'll do it on your behalf, with due
credit to you.

Been a while since I did this (and so could be missing something), but
can you try out copying the relevant .ttf to /usr/share/fonts and then
running fc-cache as the root user ?

Hi Tahir,
At the very outset, thanks a lot for contributing to the cause of Open Source. I would
like to know, what kinda of fonts are you using for Urdu language ? Any links / pointers
on the same will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Actually from the point of view of Fedora, if we want to be urdu-friendly
external resources are a total no-go. So :
1. are the keyboard layouts included with Fedora useable with urdu? If the
answer is no working layouts need to be submitted at
- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xkeyboard-config
(xkeyboard-config, GUI) and
- aeb(a)cwi.nl (kbd, CLI)
2. are the fonts included in Fedora Core or Extras suitable for urdu? If
the answer is no new fonts with a suitable license need to be packaged.
But it is much better for everyone involved if existing fonts can be used
or adapted (in urdu's case dejavu probably either already covers the
corresponding unicode block or you should work with the project to get
your glyphs created/included :
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=DejaVu or
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dejavu-fonts)
I realise this is all much more work than just dumping some files in a web
site somewhere and hope users will find them, but actual distribution
localization requires localization resources to be distributed in the
distribution itself. And since Fedora has an upstream motto, that means
getting the ressources included in the various upstream projects Fedora
distributes.

Cool. http://i18n.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-status is what you might want
to look at
If you know localization process of REDHAT in any Language, please
help
