Your understanding of written English seems pretty good to me. As long as you  
can understand the English text that needs translating, I'm sure you'd do a  
great job of expressing its meaning clearly in Japanese.

Did you check to see if the driver is already in the repo? Try installing all 
of the printer drivers

$ sudo apt-install printer-driver-all

and see if your printer starts working.

How comfortable do you feel with understanding the English documentation 
yourself? For example, this page:

Yes, I think he would be the person to ask.

No, PlayOnLinux uses Wine. PlayOnLinux is literally just designed to give  
proper configuration values for particular proprietary programs people want  
to install.


Wine is just a Windows API compatibility layer; it's useful for running  
proprietary programs that aren't available for GNU/Linux, but it could also  
be used to run a libre program that uses the Windows API or DirectX, for  
example. Such libre programs do exist, although they are uncommon. One  
example is a program called "XM Solitaire", which has actually been ported to  
the OpenPandora using Wine:

Thanks. It cleared my questions some degree.
But I can think that testing and reporting are very important and helpful  
works, but I also want a something gaudy and jolly work like a festival which  
we all can join and excites us..., if can. Though just using Trisquel excited  
me.
I am interest in translating of course. It seems fun. But I have thought that  
it is difficult for me to translate that since my English skill. But since  
you gave me the mention, mind as well consult my friend on that. Then I might  
ask david san. It seems you are also one of the main characters of the  
project though, I don't know well.

I agree. The screen reader should definitely be enabled by default, but how to 
disable it is a very common question. I took a stab at writing a wiki page 
explaining how.

Free upgrade to win 10 still works. Just saying. I don't think you should use

free upgrade days are done and over with.

We have those manuals: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installation-guide

Checking whether the instructions still work (if not, correcting them) would  
be nice.  In particular, the last update on  
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/install-trisquel-windows-dual-boot-0 is almost  
five years old.


But that requires having at hand an installed Windows/Mac/Ubuntu system, what  
many of us have not.

The link you gave say:

Check Point researcher Liad Mizrachi has conducted research showing that .chm  
files can be used to execute code on a victim computer running Microsoft  
Windows Vista, and higher.


Although GNU/Linux is certainly "higher" than any version of Windows, I do  
not think that sentence includes it!  :-)

Thanks for the tip MagicBanana. So I need to install xchm from the Trisquel  
repos? You are confident I am not putting my system at risk by using that to  
open a .CHM file from a random website, even give its capacity for malware

Re: [Trisquel-users] How to permanently disable/remove Orca Screen Reader?

Orca is turned on by default to make Trisquel more accessible to users who  
cannot see the screen. I think it's great that Trisquel supports non-visual  
users in this way, after all it's much harder for them to turn it on, than  
for the rest of use to turn it off. That said, it would also be great if  
there was a *very* obvious way to turn Orca off when beginning installation  
if it isn't needed. It would be equally great if turning it off during  
installation automatically turned it off in the installed system too.

Given that Trisquel, like its Ubuntu base, is meant to be the most  
user-friendly distro for people new to GNU-Linux, what are the recommended  
methods for installing Trisquel for people currently using:

* Windows
* Mac
* Ubuntu

Is there any kind of 'introducing Trisquel' wiki page or document that we can  
distribute to people, encouraging them to try it for the first time, and  
supplying these installation instructions? If so, will it need to be updated  
for Trisquel 8?
