How to run rsinglish in Wine

Posted on August 14, 2010

The reason for trying to run rsinglish on Wine is that Linux IM services doesn’t play well with Wine, if you are someone coming to Linux from a Windows background your Windows apps usage will be high and even some students are forced to use MS products! If you are one of them you’ll surely need this at some point. You can use the programs with out Windows thanks to Wine. Now you can type Sinhala(other languages too can be supported) on those programs thanks to rsinglish!!

There are a few rather simple steps, follow these and you’ll be typing sinhala on Wine in no time!

1. Get rsinglish and run the setup install it to some where that you can access from Linux.

2. Make a shell script file

#! /bin/bash
cd /path-to-the-directory-where-rsinglish-is/
wine rsinglish conf

Save it as run_rs.sh and make it executable.

3. Run the shell script and use pause-break to shift between Sinhala and English. Scroll-Lock doesn’t seem to work with wine.

That’s it, now you can run any Windows program(like word, excel) on Wine and type Sinhala on those programs using rsinglish!! Normal Linux apps will not be affected by this. Remove ‘conf’ parameter if you don’t want to get the config dialog on start.

    file need permissions, you can run like “bash run_rs.sh”, or 

    “chmod 777 run_rs.sh”
    then”./run_sh.sh”
