Hey Guys. I know from other topics that there's a few Linux users here, and I wanted to gague interest in something I've been doing - I've been a Slackware and Debian user since '97 but recently installed the new Ubuntu distro and it's amazing the lenghts they've gone to to make it user-friendly. Japanese support used to be a nightmare, but with Ubuntu it's a dream. So, about two months ago I decided to put my whole OS into Japanese, almost everything is localized for Japanese, and I have a cool Firefox plugin that does on-the-fly localizations of tons of popular websites that don't have Japanese support (Youtube for example) to avoid just being cheap and just loading Firefox and reading english pages. The other thing I'm doing is making a EDICT / JFC formatted flashcard file of vocabulary I ripped straight out of common programs, dialogs, error messages, etc. The two things I want to do is release that file when it's complete and write a mini-howto on how to Japanize Ubuntu, and maybe after that writing a html 'walk trough' of sorts that has a nice index so, say you were in firefox and had to change something, you could easily get to translations / vocabulary lists of the edit -> prefs dialog. Just after two months of doing this it's worked wonders for me and I think others should do it - so I was wondering how interesting this sounds to others and weather I should go ahead a write / release those files.
Cheers :)
