but as for translation system, I am not quite sure despite your explanation in detail.
I am afraid that on Transifex translation strings are searched for LL_RR (ja_JP) and
if not found, translations registered under "C" (en) rather than"ja" will be used.
I think an Ubuntu-MATE developer also made such a comment in the past.
That highly depends how the available translations on transifext get fetched, prepared, converted to be usable by the app or system in question, and what type of translation system is in use.
E.g we have compiled gettext translation-catalog, qt-translations (most of MX apps are using qt-tanslation system), and we have cleartext translations, e.g. with desktop-files or other xml-based translation aware files (e.g. pkexec based authenticator can use cleartext translation from xml-policy files, where newer system allow to combine xml-trnslationed files with gettext catalog.
In addtion most gettext-based translations, do honor the LANGUAGE locale environment parameter,
where preferred lang/locale order can be specified. E.g KDE is uitlizing using LANGUAGE parameter, where in Xfce LANGUAGE parameter is normal not used.
Suggest, to open a new topic with detailed formulated questions and examples what is not working, otherwise this can led to transform this thread a confusing l10n/i18n-thread.
Thanks

@Adrian : thanks so much for the Minimal respin. Having tried out MX KDE and Full previously, this new spin was mentioned by one of my fellow ArchLab'ers. A right moment to give it a go, and have it now installed on bare metal here, humming away. great stuff, thanks a lot.

For Your Information:
in case if you can not shutdown the system from a menu, using Minimal Respin,
execute the following command as root user:

shutdown -h now

@Adrian Hey there. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or what. But I booted to the cli, logged in with demo/demo and typed cli-installer-antix
Says command not found, while the other 2 commands are both there. Is there something missing or do I need to boot to some other option than what I am?

@RaXorX
This is a very good question. cli-installer-antix = command not found,

Minimal doesn't come with antix installer. I was shooting for 1 tool per task and I already decided to keep the GUI installer. You can of course install it with apt-get. (That's a bit of a "malicious compliance": you want a minimal ISO, you get it :grin:)

@RaXorX

Boot to prompt login.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade. Install upgrades
sudo apt install cli-installer-antix. Install

At prompt type = sudo cli-installer (do not add antix)

Good Luck

p.s cli-installer-antix executable file 466 lines (444 sloc) 12 KB

@Helen-Earth
Thanks, I'll try this as soon as I'm home and update the post.

@Adrian
No I wasn't on minimal. I was on the MX Linux cli version. Minimal has gui for the installation and installed well and good. Then I tried to get the cli one going, and that's what gave me that error.

I will have to take I look I fully intended to add the cli-installer-antix on the CLI one.
