18 Target: /usr/lib/nls/%L/dtlogin.cat
21 If additional files are to be localized, for each file include:
25 Target: /usr/dt/config/Xresources
29 This file contains the appearance resources for the login screen. The
30 traditional 'app-defaults' technology is not used since these resources
31 are specified on a per-display rather than a per-user basis. When the
32 login screen is drawn, the user that will eventually log in is not yet
35 There is only one file containing the login appearance resources to
36 service all languages, rather than an individual file per language.
37 Before the login screen is drawn, this file is scanned (with the xrdb
38 program) and the appropriate resources are used. The current value of
39 the $LANG variable is available so that language specified resources
40 (such as font) can be selected.
45 If the font to be used for the localized login screen is different from
46 the default, then an entry must be made in this file to indicate the

61 where <LANG> is replaced by the value of the $LANG
62 variable appropriate for this language.
66 Dtlogin.labelFont: <font for button labels>
67 Dtlogin.textFont: <font for dialog & help text>
68 Dtlogin.greeting.fontList: <font for greeting text>
79 Dtlogin*labelFont: jpn.16x32
80 Dtlogin*textFont: jpn.12x24
81 Dtlogin.greeting.fontList: <italic font of equivalent size>
87 The message catalog contains the text for the first part of the
88 greeting message displayed below the HP logo. This text is "Welcome
89 to" (set 1,16). Dtlogin appends the system name to the text to
90 generate the complete greeting message.
92 This text can be overridden by the user via a resource in the
93 Xresources file. The file is shipped with the resource commented out
94 so that the message catalog takes precedence. The resource value
95 should be localized identically to the message catalog.

130 To test this text, remove the comment characters "!!" from the line. To
131 test the text in the message catalog, insert the comment characters.
136 The localized Xresources file along with the message catalog should be
137 returned to the DT development team. In addition, it may be necessary
138 for the customize script (run after installing a language) to contain
139 instructions that would append the above lines to an existing
