Export DEFAULT_TO_ENGLISH_FOR_PACKING="yes" into env.
Last modified: 2006-03-14 21:02:56 UTC
Hi, the variable DEFAULT_TO_ENGLISH_FOR_PACKING is used by native installer (solenv/bin/modules/installer/scriptitems.pm) to turn on the fallback for missing language-dependent files. If it is set in the environment (I propose to set it to "yes"), resp. en-US files are used and the warning is printed: WARNING: Using tplpresntimpr_en-US.zip instead of tplpresntimpr_nso.zip This allows people building OOo in new languages to build without the need to hack inside extras, helpcontent2 etc.
Change target to 2.0.
this environment variable is a hack and should not be needed. AFIAIS it duplicates those english stuff in every langpack. no. don't do this. Add the localized stuff to the langpack and let the eghlish stuff where it belongs (in the english one / in the main package). I won't add that to configure.
no. You understand it wrong. It doesn't duplicate it in every language pack. It is using English variants of localizable files if there is none for your language available, thus it allows you to: - create e.g. Xhosa installation set (not language pack!) with English help, because Xhosa doesn't have Help translated yet. You can s/Xhosa/whatever language still doesn't have help/. - create e.g. Xhosa installation set (not language pack!) with English extras, because Xhosa doesn't have extras localized yet. You can s/Xhosa/whatever language still doesn't have extras/. It doesn't affect installation sets nor language packs that have all files available/translated/localized. It can only help. It doesn't hurt anyone. You're statement about "main package" is nonsense, because you can have e.g. Afrikaans main package and Xhosa language pack. Both languages do not have help and both languages do not have extras. So what is your solution for such languages?
Hi, > - create e.g. Xhosa installation set (not language pack!) with English help, > because Xhosa doesn't have Help translated yet.

You can s/Xhosa/whatever > language still doesn't have extras/. see above, just with extras. > It doesn't affect installation sets nor language packs that have all files > available/translated/localized. It can only help. It doesn't hurt anyone. and what about language packs which do *not* have all stuff available? will they get the english help/english extras there, too? That would be broken and that's what I think is bad. > You're statement about "main package" is nonsense, because you can have e.g. > Afrikaans main package and Xhosa language pack.

So what is your solution for > such languages? don't pack the help and extras into them if there isn't any. if they need the english ones, too, they should just install the english language pack or whatever too and OOo should fallback to it (what it IIRC does already for the help) Regards, Rene

You can s/Xhosa/whatever > > language still doesn't have help/. > that's duplicating the help. No, it is not. In Xhosa only installation set, there is no help to duplicate. There is only one instance of help, the English one that is integrated because of the proposed setting. You can't duplicate something you do not have yet... The same applies to extras. You do not have any extras to duplicate in Xhosa installation set. The other question is when you talk about language packs. But current system that is not going to be changed for 2.0 doesn't allow language pack without extras or help.
