Hungarian Mac OS X Released

Posted by pudge on from the taking-your-word-for-it dept.

mr100percent writes "Apple's Hungarian web site for Mac OS X is reporting that the Hungarian version of Mac OS X Panther is available for download for 10.3.0, three point releases back, requiring you to downgrade if you're above. Only the system applications have been localized: iApps and Help menus remain in English. A more current Hungarian localization is currently in development."

    That's pretty interesting, in that a lot of Oracle's I18N work is also done in Ireland. I wonder what it is that makes Ireland such the I18N hotbed?

    Also in other news, Turkish OS X started to ship. Currently only testing mags has it in hands but Apple TR states "orders opened". http://www.apple.com.tr/macosx/

    If there are any turkish reading this, they would agree. Apple is almost perfectionist in translating stuff. E.g. they translated Netscape 4.x to turkish while no turkish netscape exists.

    The "turkish" Windows really, really sux. They translated it like babelfish, real funny (or, tragicomic?), "invented words" etc. While on the other hand, since Mac OS 7 (or before, not sure) there was a perfect turkish MacOS in hand, all the time.

    I saw people flaming Apple TR for not shipping OS X Turkish and its hard for non coding people to understand the big deal, its all done now. I bet Hungarian people, got used to local MacOS for years demanded it. Especially media sector.

    Only problem is with Quicktime 6.5 I heard... Well that 6.5 release creates problems everywhere, so no big deal :)

    Now, it doesn't support greek? Sure? Poor Apple Greece, I can imagine the flames they get after people hear Turkish OS X :))
