Hi Hamish,<div><br></div><div>Probably I did a logical error with the language detection. </div><div>The place where the language is defined in the script is the time when the LiveDVD build is put together, right? </div><div>
So it's not a script that will run, when a user logs in on the LiveDVD, I guess. This is what I actually thought it would be nice to have.</div><div>In that case all welcome_message.txt files had to be included to the LiveDVD and selected by another script, I think.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Would this be difficult task? I think, I'm a bit lost in the scripts at the moment ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>Daniel</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

is that method acceptable for the Brazilians?<br>

then if the translated version exists it will be used, otherwise it<br>
will default to copying in the english version.<br>
this assumes the DVD builder will be local..<br> </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
original welcome_message.sh should always be copied, and duplication of<br>
english version with desktop-conf/ is to be avoided. (correct way is to<br>
remove the duplicated version from doc/en/, then if desired (I'm not sure<br>
it is) 'svn move' from the desktop-conf/ dir; this way full svn history<br>
is preserved and there is only one master file to edit. if duplicate is<br>
absolutely needed, tell svn to use a symlink)<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div><div>Well, I think it would be better to have all texts in doc/<language>/ directory, so I would rather have the default "welcome_message.txt" in "doc/en" than in desktop-conf directory.
