The goal of this project is to enable a user to create and customize their own OpenSolaris locale without requiring a high level of technical knowledge. The output of localectr is an installable IPS package containing number of binaries and other supporting files with the locale data information. After the installation fully working locale is created on the OpenSolaris system.
- For detailed usage of the tool and proposed new features have a look at this page.

What is PCT?
PCT means - Pre Consolidation Testing. We are using PCT for testing our patches and fixed packages before integration. We are able to find many bugs and fix them before official integration. It's also very good way for our engineers how to test their patches and packages.

A pleasant side-effect of enabling the gdm System Menu in OpenSolaris, as described in yesterdays blog - KDE 4.1.4 shutdown and reboot are now enabled within the session as well.

Have you thought about translation of OpenSolaris project? So you are at the right pages. And moreover: a translation process has never been easier than now.
Intro
There are a lot of ways how to translate any piece of code or online help for OpenSolaris. However I recommend to use CTI tool
(Community Translation Interface) developed by G11n Engineering team in
Prague. With this tool, the translation process is very easy and fast.
In addition to that you can focus only to the content you are going
to translate and you do not have to deal with different file formats,
different message workspaces and different rules required for
integration to a product.[Read More]
OpenSolaris 2009.06 is coming soon. Therefore we took the translated content for projects contributed by the community and integrated it to OpenSolaris. At the same time I was able to obtain some interesting data about translations I would like to share with you.
Data was obtained for contributions done via CTI tool - the tool that is preferred for translation of SW messages and Online help. Check the list of top contributors now!

As Sun's G11n QA group would like to work publicly we have decided to open our testing to wider audience. It covers sharing the test results, test infrastructure as well as to enable everyone interested to help with the OpenSolaris testing.
Our first major initiative was to establish OpenSolaris G11n Test Group. Now we would like to start test execution and thus test group has launched test campaign for OpenSolaris 2009.06 Binary Distro. You can see more (test plan, test areas and matrices etc ..) at: http://wikis.sun.com/display/g11n/OpenSolarisBDTesting ...[Read More]Monday Mar 09, 2009
