How to make KDE to support Thai language?

Hi, I wander if anyone can help me with this. I am looking for a guide for making KDE support Thai language. I know that Gnome support it, but not KDE. I cannot find KDE i18th package for Thai. Anyone can help with this? Many thanks.

There is Thai language support for KDe available upstream, it just seems that Arch has no package for it. Either get the packages from kde.org or file a bug report in Arch to add this package.

Do you mean if I have to use Thai language, I have to build package from sourcecode. Well, package builing looks very complicated. I will run Gnome instead then, at least someone has already wrote guides on Wiki. I have to wait until Arch got Thai language package for KDE then I will go back to use KDEMod again.

If you don't file a bug report, nothing will happen. You have to take action, so if you are using the KDEmod repo, you might want to complain in the kdemod thread. The guy who maintains kdemod is usually quick to add packages.

If you give me a recent release of the KDE thai language files, i will do a package for it...

The last release of kde-i18n-th seems to be for 3.5.5 but not 3.5.6, so this is a problem to solve...

Supposedly the development version for 4.0 is working with 3.5.6, you may get them here: ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/snapshots/kde … th.tar.bz2

Get the package here:

http://kdemod.ath.cx/repo/current/i686/ … pkg.tar.gz

Repo is not updated yet, so you have to download and install it manually...

Funkyou, many thanks for your response. You are as very quick as your KDEMOD.

I must thanks the Captain as well for answering my post and providing the ftp link.

I am very happy now.
