I have finally managed to integrate much of the stuff you provided in your desktop_approots tarball.

Great! Thanks.



I did not incorporate your Greek versions of the .dt files.  I don't think CDE has enough in it to actually support the Greek locale, as there is no Greek localization database.  I am not sure if you just add the Greek support on top of a built CDE, or what as there is currently no support for installing the Greek locale.

So I am confused.  If you build CDE from scratch, how do you install it?  And does everything work properly in Greek?


CDE supports Unicode Greek through a patch applied in 2014 by Eugene Doudine (he submitted it and you applied it).
So there is no reason not to include the Greek versions. I do nothing to see Greek on CDE apps other than
change my locale to el_GR.UTF-8 (export this instead of C in /usr/dt/bin/startxsession.sh).

Nothing else on a system that has a reasonable font fallback mechanism. CDE needs fonts installed
on the Xserver and for example Ubuntu falls back to misc font, which includes Greek among other codepages.
(It is another issue if I do not like misc and I install my Greek fonts on my Xserver).

What is not supported yet, as you wrote, are the various CDE messages which need translation. But
there is no reason that, say the Office Group apps, are not named in their Greek equivalent if the user
has specified the
el_GR.UTF-8 in the LANG variable.

So I suggest, you install the Greek files as well. It works out of the box on reasonable systems.


Thanks much for your contribution!


You are welcome. The only thing I would like to add is if you could write a few words (maybe on wiki?) on how one goes
to improve what you have done. For example, if I want to make an improvement to what
I had submitted to you, what do I do? Change an icon. Or an action for a certain filetype.

And yes, I agree to change your app to dtopen.

best,

Antonis.
