About tcl/tk requirements

In case of multi-byte characters (e.g. Japanese), displaying window title was possible only for tcl/tk version 8.4 and later. This is issue is related to i18n compliance of tcl/tk.

 

 

localizing to other languages

copy the en.msg files as follows;

> cp grass5/tcltkgrass-i18n/main/en.msg grass5/tcltkgrass-i18n/main/XX.msg

 (XX is the locale code eg. de for german, th for thai etc.)

> cp grass5/scripts/en.msg grass5/scripts/XX.msg

> cp grass5/etc/nviz2.2-i18n/scripts/en.msg  grass5/etc/nviz2.2-i18n/scripts/XX.msg

 

You can then edit all the XX.msg files to the desired language (Unicode UTF-8 is supported). For desired languages, the Unicode-8 version of the XX.msg needs to be created.  In case of Japanese multi-byte character-sets EUC-JP and Shift-JIS is also supported.

Example of message;

Original >> ::msgcat::mcset en “File(F)” “File(F)”

Changed << ::msgcat::mcset yy “File(F)” “zz(F)”

    Where yy is the locale code and zz is the message in desired language (UTF-8 encoding). Only roman character (e.g. (F)) can be used for shortcuts.
