يا ابنى بدل مش

يا ابنى بدل ال 500 سطر دول مش كنت تلخص الكلام عشان نفهم ايه ده -:)

اللى أنا أعرفه أن grub2 فى خطط انه يدعم l18n وال i10n وممكن كمان يدعم يمين-شمال

اللى فهمته من الكلام الكتير ده انهم عايزين حد يساعدهم فى الكود بتاع اليمين-شمال ولو ممكن يستعملو fribidi , وكمان grub2 بقى modular يعنى ممكن ينكتب موديول منفصل للكلام ده

وكمان فى تفكير يستخدمو خطوط TTF بس لسه محدش كتب كود

ياترى فى حد عنده حماس يساعد فى ده ؟

No way, I'm not reading

No way, I'm not reading all this. Why don't you state what's really needed ?

Beside, Who needs Arabic in the bootloader anyway!!!

Seconded

Don´t get me wrong guys, everyone´s free to do what he wants but I think that´s not what the arab community needs at all.

Same.

i think it just the arabs soul,

I don`t think they will ask for arabic binary, 0 1 2 are the arabic numbers

the numbers we use are the indian one ...

May be they will ask for arabic hexa..

No way, I'm not reading all

simply, for Arabic support we need a grub2 module (as grub2 has a modular design) to do Arabic related issues, this module may be based on fribidi, also we need a font with Arabic support to be used with grub2

this may be true for a simple boot loader like lilo, grub is a full featured boot manager with command line, ability to list and read files on the file system with may contain Arabic text or have Arabic names, also help files may be translated to Arabic.

NLS support is one of the new ideas for grub2, not an Arabic only issue


any way thanks

any way thanks to you all

but special thanks to all #morphix guys specially "paul_c"

for supporting me in grub-gfx

and Meany Meany thanks to okuji and daChaac for adding the Arabic support to grub 2

i can see that their is not Meany users use grub 2 right now

Do something then...

>> a shin if it cant show arabic while we all here

If you think it's a sin, Then do something.

I personally don't think it's a sin or that it's really important ATM, We have really more problems to take care of, I've been working on a small article about the state of Arabic under the FLOSS desktop "I have an old one but I wanted to check the current status" and hell, We do have problems!

Good luck anyway,

he is doing

I don't know if he can program or not, but i can see that he is doing "some thing" at least we can see Arabic fonts.

This isn't not an urgent issue but some one can do it, having too many more urgent problems doesn't mean we shouldn't do this until we solve the others or we won't do any thing at all

I was talking about myself, I told no one not to do something here.
