Hi guys

Can I add Urdu Language support to Knoppix ... is it only abt adding UR folder with required .mo files to /usr/share/locale and burning the .iso image or do I have to add some sort of urdu font support as well... what I need to know is if Knoppix supports Urdu or Arabic font ... because Urdu and Arabic fonts are pretty much the same ...

thanx...

You may want to look at Arabbix (http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=Arabbix) which is a knoppix variant it may be able to give you some ideas on how to go about adding the support and it looks like at the KDE i18n (http://i18n.kde.org/) site there is a project (http://i18n.kde.org/teams/index.php?a=i&t=ur) that is underway for the translation effort you may want to get a hold of the project leaders and offer your help.
