    @Robin – Many thanks for uploading the localization files to Transifex!
    I haven’t checked exhaustively, but it seems to be just right- Only the .desktop files are missing- I really have no idea if they can directly placed in Transifex or there’s some kind of adaption I have to perform…

    Thanks for spotting the script that refers to my “home”- I already deleted it- It was just a remnant left over from the time I was testing the best window size for the chronometer (please note, that, usually, when I leave a script with “OLD” in the end, it’s because having that original version can be handy for future development, any such file is not there by mistake, although I realize that practice may bloat the package by some kb…)- I checked one, by one every single script file and found no mention to my personal “home”- It probably should not exist, since I used to test every .deb on a fresh antiX 21 virtual image before uploading it to gitlab… But because it took so long I’ve been testing on my real hardware- that may, unfortunately cause bug like having the script use my own personal home folder…

    I would also like to make a small pool here over this week:
    -FT10 includes some extra small scripts that are not part of the default antiX:
    -Weather, News, world-clock CLI, FT10-clock (that includes a GUI world clock, a stopwatch, multi-timers with the capability to suspend the computer after a certain time, an alarm, a calendar that’s also a simple agenda without any sort of alarm)

    I created previously some other apps I’m thinking about including in FT10 version 1.2:
    –Translate – it’s a tiny script that uses on-line translation services to translate any highlighted text and present it, translated to the system language, in a yad window
    –Debinstaller – it’s a very basic GUI off-line .deb package installer – still lacks some features, but it’s insanely fast when compared to gdebi and it’s just a front end to “sudo apt install” – it follows the same UI guide lines “antiX Updater” uses- show the terminal to provide info for the user, but the user does not have to type a single command, it’a all GUI centric. This can be handy in antiX 19 and older because it’s more realiable than gdebi and in antiX 21, that lacks an off-line GUI .deb package installer.
    –antiX Cloud– it’a GUI that provides easy access to Cloud drives from inside your default file manager. It can configure Google Drive with a single click (all other Cloud services have to be configured by a Cli menu)
    Note: “Translate” does not have to be localized (only it’s .desktop file). Debinstaller is completly usable in any language (and the “Translate” script was created to be used in conjuntion with it- highligh the .deb’s description and launch “Translate” to read a localized description). Cloud does have much more text that needs localizing (it even has a “help file”).
    So: should any or all of these scripts be included in the next FT10 release?

    P.
