Multi-Language Support

[ray]

Hi,

I would like to set up my openBSD 2.7 as my Chinese desktop environment
but I can't find any information on how to do so.

Does anyone know what kind of multi-language support does openBSD has?
and if anyone knows how to setup openBSD as a Chinese desktop environment,
or knows where to find this information, please help me...

Thank you,

Ming

I don't understand what you mean by Chinese desktop environment, but
applications in /usr/ports/chinese/ fit your needs?

The OpenBSD doesn't support locale yet. If you want to see Chinese, install
chinese/taipeifonts; if you want to type in Chinese in terminal, you would
install chinese/crxvt and chinese/xcin.

So there is no locale mechanism within openBSD?

Right. But things aren't so bad, you can use chinese/{crxvt+xcin} to type in
Chinese :)

Sorry for been vague, when I say "chinese desktop environment," I am
thinking
of an i18ned environment that alllows me to run applications in a localized
(in my
case, Chinese) setting.
So a better question will be: does openBSD has a multi-language support
mechanism
in place?

Yeah.. I know things are workable. But coming from a linux background
and knowing their i18n environment are taking off nicely make this hack
method a bit tough to swallow.

I searched the mailing list and the last time there is any talk about
an i18n environment is back in 1997. Does anyone know if the status of that
project? If not, I am willing to resurrect that project and see if there is
anything
we can do about it...

Is this what you mean?

Citrus Project <http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/index-en.html>

I am afraid I do not know the current status of the project.

Ok, if you're willing to do it, we could try import Citrus Project.

Thanks for the link,
I went to the web site. From its project outline, it looks very impressive.
But I cannot find any specific details about their own implementation.
I think I will sign on to their mailing list and see what comes out of it.
Uhmm.. Is there one on this list that's also working on the Citrus project?
