I. Objectives
Provide Chinese support to your Puppy linux system in 2 stages:
Stage 1:
Install Chinese fonts and a number of Chinese input methods (by installing a half-Chinese language pet)
Stage 2:
Display desktop items in Chinese, including menu, sub-menus, pop-up tool tips (by installing a half-Chinese language pet and a Chinese language pet).
II. How to find the right icake Chinese language pets for your Puppy system?
A. I have created a script (search_icake_pets_20220901_991.sh) that allows users to select 1 iso file name from a data base of over 900 English Puppy system iso names. The script will then list the applicable icake half-Chinese and Chinese language pet names for the selected Puppy system.
This script can be downloaded from all the public icake pets folder shown in a, b or c above. For Google and Baidu sites, it was uploaded to all the icake pets sharing folders. For sourceforge.net, its under "Documentation-and-Tools" folder: https://sourceforge.net/projects/icakec ... and-Tools/
The script provides a choice of 3 user interface language: English, Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese. To run, download the above file, open terminal, type: "./search_icake_pets_20220901_991.sh" ((without the "s)); press enter.
B. icake pet list
I have created a list of 991 Puppy system iso names showing for each iso, the applicable icake Chinese and half-Chinese language pet names. This file is named "pdflist_of_991_icake_Puppy_Chinese_language_pets.pfd" and can be downloaded from the same folder as for the script above (see section A above).
C. How to use:
A pdf user guide written in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese will provide more detailed information about the icake pets and how to use them. This user guide can be download from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/icakec ... and-Tools/
Here are some brief descriptions on how to use these icake pets:
For stage 1: select, download and install one of the available half-Chinese Language pets for your Puppy system.
For stage 2: complete stage 1 first, then select, download and install one of the available Chinese Language pets for your Puppy system.
Example:
a. You are using the easyos 1.0.0 Puppy system
b. you have selected the fcitx Chinese input platform for stage 1 Chinese support. Therefore you need to download and install fcitx64_4.2.7-en-zh-xenial-16.1.3.pet
c. If you also want stage 2 Chinese support (with user interface including the menus, sub-menus, pop-up tool-tips to display in Chinese), besides completing stage 1 above, you also need to download and install one of these Chinese Language pets for easyos 1.0.0:
