h3. Overview The "Territories" directory in the [[Software information: Bonus binaries|Bonus binaries]] download contains modules for a selection of territories, with information on how to use these as a basis for internationalisation. h3. "Bonus binaries" This is one of a group of applications and modules distributed as *Bonus Binaries* - software considered unsuitable for inclusion in the standard HardDisc4 image. They are primarily of interest to developers, and are made available on the "half a loaf" principle: the pressing need for software that performs these tasks outweighs the inconvenience of the unfinished and/or anachronistic behaviour of the software itself. h3. Territories: an introduction RISC OS uses the concept of "territories" to allow for internationalisation (e.g. different languages, alphabets, keyboard layouts). This is controlled by the [[TerritoryManager]] and the [[International]] module. Individual territories have their own Territory module (RISC OS is built with the UK module as default). For RISC OS to use a different territory, you will need: * A territory module for the desired territory (e.g. France) * Translated message texts for all ROM-based resources Further setup details can be found in a "ReadMe" file inside the "Modules.Territories" directory of the Bonus Binaries download. If you have the RISC OS 3 PRMs, the chapter on the International module starts on page 3-767 and the chapter on the Territory Manager starts on page 3-793. Pages 5a-589 and 5a-679 are also relevant. h3. Issues If you are experiencing problems with a territory module, first check to see if a ticket has been raised on the "Bug tracker":/tracker/tickets/ page. You may also want to visit the "Bugs":/forum/forums/4 forum. If you have a general query related to the software, you can enquire on the "Community Support":/forum/forums/11 forum. h3. History of the component To view the release history for versions available on the ROOL web site, visit the "GitLab Commits page":CommitURL (releases are "tagged" with the version number). h3. Obtaining the software This software is usually supplied as part of the "Bonus binaries":/content/downloads/common build. To obtain the source code, visit the "GitLab source":SourceURL page. --- [CommitURL]https://gitlab.riscosopen.org/RiscOS/Sources/Internat/Territory/TerritoryModule/commits/master [SourceURL]https://gitlab.riscosopen.org/RiscOS/Sources/Internat/Territory/TerritoryModule
