Removed acroread-fr from my repository

by Julien on October 29th, 2006

I removed acroread-fr and co. from my repository, as Christian Marillat now provides acroread-l10n-XX packages (including the acroread-l10n-fr which my packages were supposed to provide).

If you want to use Christian’s packages, please update your /etc/apt/sources.list file according to instructions on debian-multimedia.org, purge acroread-fr and all related packages, and install acroread-l10n-fr and acroread-spell-fr packages (acroread and plugins will be pulled as dependencies).

To change the default language of the GUI, read the README.Debian file in package doc directory.

Update: To be able to have the GUI translated, you have to modify /usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread as follows:

# Adobe Reader/Acrobat uses gconftool-2 to check whether accessibility support is enabled. Please refer to the Readme file to work around this.

[/diff]

Better use a local diversion so as to avoid that an upgraded package destroys these changes.

Then, run ACRO_LANG=FRA acroread and choose French as the GUI language.

    Hi,
    unfortunately, acroread-l10n-fr does nothing at all for now.

    Hi,

    Actually, you have to work a bit to make this work. Here is the translation of Christian’s answer to my question:

    Please edit /usr/bin/acroread around line 710 and comment the following lines:

    ACRO_LANG=$ST_LANG
    export ACRO_LANG

    Then follow the README.Debian, except that you have to launch the last acroread with ACRO_LANG=FRA acroread

    Hope it helps,
    Julien
