Mark Kwidzińsczi has compiled, and made available as an ISO, Kubuntu 9.10 Linux distribution optimized for the Kashubian language. This repackaged distribution defaults to the Kashubian language K Desktop Environment (KDE), as localized by Mark Kwidzińsczi and Michôł Òstrowsczi. Because many Linux programs are yet to be localized into Kashubian, Polish language menus will appear in the untranslated applications. Arguably, a bonus feature of this distribution are the video and audio codecs normally unavailable in a CD-based distribution. Thanks to these codecs, users will be able to play files encoded in the most popular video/audio formats.

Enabling Kashubian keyboard layout in KDE 3.5.x

First Kashubian Operating System
Tags: kashubian language, kashubian linux, KDE — Yurek @ 9:07 pm 10 June 2007
You should mark 7 June of this year as an important date in history for Kashubian computing. Since than, the newly available alpha version of Kubuntu 7.10 Linux operating system (stable release is scheduled for October) includes support for Kashubian language. Not only can Kashubian be set as the system’s default language, but some of the menus display in Kashubian. With this release, we can start talking about a Kashubian operating system in the true meaning of the word.
This development is a direct outcome of KDE’s version 3.5.7 release, which incorporates Kashubian (csb) language support. You can read more about KDE on the project’s Web site.
Kashubian translators, Michał Ostrowski and Marek Kwidziński have been working on KDE / Ubuntu since 2006 and thanks to their tireless efforts, we can now enjoy Kashubian version of Linux. Although there’s still plenty of work to be done (i.e. weeding out typos and translation errors), the hardest part is behind us – Kashubian Linux has hit the cyber space!
KDE 3.5.7 – now Kashubian
Tags: kashubian language, kashubian linux, KDE — Yurek @ 10:10 am 30 May 2007
Beginning 22 May 2007, KDE 3.5.7 has been available for download from ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/. As with all KDE releases, this version adds new functionality and improves stability.
Arguably for us, the most important change of this version is the stable support for Kashubian language. Needless to say, we, the Kashubian KDE translators are very proud of this new development.
If possible, please upgrade you version of KDE, install the csb files and let us know what you think! Should you find any translation inconsistencies, typos, etc., please, submit them via contact channels provided on linuxcsb.org.
Marek and Michał
