Ubuntu 10.04 Start 0.4.8 Released; Now Supports Multiple Languages Thanks To You!

ubuntu 10.04 start multilingual

That's right, in less than 24 hours since we asked for your help to translate Ubuntu Start, version 0.4.8 has been released and it now supports multiple languages.

So what is Ubuntu 10.04 Start? The main purpose of this script is to speed up configuring Ubuntu 10.04 immediately after you've just installed it. This includes both installing popular applications and codecs as well as fixing some annoyances in Ubuntu 10.04.


I decided to release it now even though there are still translations to be done because many people will need it since Ubuntu 10.04 will be released today. Once I receive new translations, I will add them to the script as soon as I can.


Supported languages so far:
  • Czech - Translation submitted by clever fox
  • German - Translation submitted by Sebastian
  • French - Translation submitted by astromb
  • Slovak - Translation submitted by enjoy
  • Spanish - Translation submitted by Vicente. Also many thanks to CokiDVD and Ezequiel

All these translations have been done in less than 24 hours. That's simply amazing! Once again, many thanks to everyone who helped or will help translate Ubuntu Start into their own language!

NOTE: All the tweaks in this script are optional, meaning you can select to only apply some of the tweaks.

Fore more info on Ubuntu 10.04 start, see: What To Do After A Fresh Ubuntu Install Script.


Here is the changelog for the last 3 releases (in case you didn't check out Ubuntu Start lately):

0.4.8

#multiple language support; current languages: Czech, Spanish, French, German, Slovak, Italian, Polish, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese (PT), Malaysian, Galician, Korean
#changed the way the current logged in user is detected; this should hopefully fix multiple accounts issues

0.4.6

Download (and how to use) Ubuntu 10.04 Start Script


To download and run the script, paste this in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install zenity
wget http://launchpad.net/ubuntustart/0.4.x/0.4.9/+download/ubuntu-10.04-start-0.4.9.13.tar.gz
tar -xvf ubuntu-10.04-start-0.4.9.13.tar.gz
cd ubuntu-10.04-start/
sudo ./ubuntu-10.04-script


Alternatively, manually download it from here.

Then you will be able to select your language and continue with the tweaks and installing the applications you want.


Important note: if the script doesn't start due to some unrecognised characters in some languages, uncomment line 51 from the script, meaning you'll have to remove the "#" in front of this line:
#export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

I've tested the script without it in Lucid and it worked just fine, but on very customized installs it might not work so use that if the script doesn't start.

Note: the script was updated several times to include the latest translations you've sent me.
