> Caramel and other testing easy 4.99 have reported the French translation to be less than before:
> https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=81950#p81950
> The problem with apps not being translated is due to .mo files being in /usr/share/locale.in, whereas they should be in /usr/share/locale
> The scripts in woofQ that build easy are supposed to move all .mo files for inbuilt packages from /usr/share/locale.in to /usr/share/locale. In my eagerness to bring out 4.99, I missed some of the code required to do this.
> I am very grateful to the guys who are patiently testing Easy 4.99. I know what is causing the reported bugs, so can fix them.
> There is one very odd problem; williwaw reported an error message "/build-choices: No such file or directory":
> https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=81976#p81976
> ...from subsequent posts, I deducted that the framebuffer device /dev/fb0 must be missing, which is very odd.
> Without /dev/fb0, Xorg server is unable to run, hence the gtk app that asks for locale and keyboard-layout is unable to run. In that case, there is fallback to /sbin/ask-language, which is a CLI app.
Release near:
> There were lots of issues with 4.99. Thanks to the feedback, hopefully they are now resolved. Release notes:

> Preferably do a pristine first-bootup, so that you get to test the ask-language GUI. This is now a text-mode GUI, keyboard only. Photo:
