Hi folks,

finally my localisation patch is ready to distribute. There is only one question: where to upload the file,
cause it is 270 Mb in filesize.

The patch conatains all availlable language files from the retail Mac OS X 10.4 DVD for Macs (PPC).
You can choose from the following languages:

Brasilian Portuguese
Danish
Dutch
Finnish
French
German
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Norwegian
Spanish
Swedish
Simplified Chinese and finally
Traditional Chinese

The whole patch is an Installer to use under your installed Mac OS X.
Just doubleklick it and it will popup like the attached file "Localizer_1"
and than will ride you through the installation process, like attached file
"Localizer_choose_language"

So, if anyone is interested to distribute this file, just send me PM to instruct
me where to put the file. I promise, it works like a charm.

Comic Sans? My eyes are bleeding...

...J/K...

Maybe the easiest is just to make a torrent? Great work btw.

Yes, i know. but i dont know how to register with a and which tracker.
thats my problem, so if anyone can help feel free to get in contact.

Great work!

If BitTorrent dont suit you, perhaps this website does it:
http://www.yousendit.com/

just what i needed! great work..

maybe something like megaupload.com could work, but you would have to split the file into two because the filesize limit is 250MB. I know it's slow but looks like there's nothing else.

Or in emule and puting it Powershare release? I don't know, trying to give some ideas...

I am just uploading it to "yousendit.com".
If i have a link for the file, i will post it here.

Thanx for all comments...

Ok, here is the link:

EDIT: DMCA Violation
I leave my torrent open as long as i can.

Will seed as long as I can. Thanks again.

Whouhouuuuu thank very very very much

To actually make the new settings apply, I had to go to System Preferences and click the International button, then click and hold the pointer on my language and pull it to the top of the list and release the mouse button, THEN log out and back in.
Nice patch though

maybe you can split it in lang packs and use something like rapidshare.de, or just split the rar in 50mb chunks

could someone mirror it to rapidshare or anything ?

If this could only be mixed with the Bender-Marklar patch... we would have them auto-installed from the DVD.

Aoooowa!! This is so great it should be included in the DVD patcher also

I am currently working on this. But it is not that easy as the standalone patch.
I will keep ya informed when there is a solution.

Meanwhile just transfer it to your patched marklar DVD with Transmac, so you have
it handy whenever you do a re-install. Like i did it this way.

I hope, i have a complete solution ready next time.

http mirror up

I installed it but now adress book/main menu/email etc are english while other parts that couldn't be changed by international options tab are german now..

Does anyone ever make it to work?

I use this patch. But don't see anyway to type in Chinese. Can't even switch it.

Thanks!

I tryed the patch, but it seems not to translate apple menu items, neither preferences items names, also finder and window menu on the finder are not fully translated...so I ended with a sort of spanglish osx lol

To those who are having problems making it "work", did you do this? Also, click on the Format button when in the International menu, to change the way the clock, date and currencies are shown.

Yeah, same here.

Ok, let me check this. I am going to see what went wrong.
Btw: i have a patch ready, which makes the Dev. DVD more compatible to the retail DVD,
means: before it starts, it lets you select the language for the whole installation process. So
all upcomming dialogs and the tools, which you can start from the installer-menu will start
in the selected language as well. Also the following changes have been made:

In the customized Install selection i disabled Additional Fonts, Printers, X11, Developer Tools
and added the language packs. Cause i feel better, if i just select the printer drivers i really
need and i dont need additional fonts, x11 and the dev tools by default. If you need them, you
will still be able to select them.

Made a new ppf-patch file, which is based in the release1 patch from bender, means, you
must have already applied benders release1 patch, than apply my new patch. The bad side
of this is, that the patch is nearly 1gb uncompressed, cause it adds nearly 1 gb language data
to the dev dvd. I dont know how big it will be if i am going to .rar it.

Also i make a final test with a complete installation to see, if all went smooth and correct.
Will keep ya informed, so stay tuned...

Could anybody give a http link since I couldn't access the bt tunnel behind the gateway?

for those who have a crash with Activity Monitor here is a workaround, show package contents and then rename english.lproj to your local language (ie. "french.lproj"). After that it works without problems.

Thanx mate, It worked fine for me; now I have my system in Spanish, Activity Monitor is still in english, but at least it works
