Afghanistan Setup
This page is intended to act as a public reference to the current Afghan setup for OLPC. As of this writing we are just getting ready for the first day Feb 10th - the details below are subject to change in accordance with requirements / pilot experience.
Keyboard Setup
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard to contain:
KEYTABLE="us"
XKB_MODEL="olpc"
XKB_LAYOUT="af,us"
XKB_VARIANT="olpc-ps,olpc2"
Localized Files (from Pootle)
As of this writing the Pashto localization is ***ON HOLD*** as the Pashto computer glossary from the Ministry of Communication and IT is not yet revised to be understandable by children. For the moment we are therefor using Dari.
When changing the keyboard layout (the times divide key if required) then please note this bug that causes issues in the write activity:
