    Hello PPC, Wallon and Brian,

    I believe a good idea would be to clone-mirror your project to the antix-community repo at gitlab in a first step.
    The second step would be to put the translations to transifex. Again, the correct place I feel would be antix-community-contributions at transifex, since this space is meant exactly for projects created and driven by people of community like yours.

    I would have looked into it before, but unfortunately the upgrade from antiX 19 to antiX 21 makes me struggle much more and takes much more spare time than I have. Particularly the firefox update from 78-esr to 91-esr cut me off from web site access on antiX 21 only one day before christmas. (This was fine on 21 originally from ISO, so I was able to research and fix broken things from within antiX 21 until then) So from that day on I had to pause the work on transifex, since now I constantly have to reboot alternately to antiX 19 and antiX 21, which makes researching quite time consuming. So it doesn’t make sense to let the translation script run on the desktop files right now, since it needs some days of running undisturbed in the background. Will resume on this as soon as possible.

    And as soon as I will have settled these upgrading quirks once on the machines I’m running, I’ll be back and can help with FT10 translations as best I can, together with all the others. It doesn’t count for me, whether I personally use it or not, there are many people out there who will use it. which is enough to encourage me to help. And it looks great. Good work, PPC!

    Also I noticed that neither my aCSTV nor my automatic IRC hexchat translation script work on antiX 21 anymore, due to version incompatibility to upgraded versions of some helper programs. This also will take much time to fix, and also this will have to wait until I am back to normal state of working after the migration from antiX 19 to antiX 21.

    So I hope Xecure will step in here and upload this FT10 resource to transifex. Marcelo does know quite well meanwhile how to prepare a bash script for transifex. So he could start to prepare it so Xecure needs to upload it merely. Also Xecure is the one who knows how to build an .deb package from the repo contents, so it can get installed by normal user by any package installer. I have never done this packaging myself, probably will learn some day.

    Once there is an installable .deb package, it probably can easily get added to the lists of programs presented for installation by antiX graphical package installer, so new users will see it.

    Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.
