[Etoys] Looking for mentors and project ideas for Squeak's Summer of Code application
by Giovanni Corriga 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Hi, the Squeak Foundation will be applying to participate in the 2008 edition of the Google Summer of Code. This year we'll be interested in involving the other Squeak-related communities, too. So I'm asking for both volunteer mentors and project ideas. If you're interested in being a mentor, and/or want to provide a project idea, please contact me at giovanni(a)corriga.net . Ciao, Giovanni

[Etoys] etoys & Pootle (Re: Swedish translations for etoys)
by Takashi Yamamiya 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hi Korakurider, This is current work flow of etoys translation which I assume. - A developer modifies translation keywords. - New POT is updated in svn repository. - New POT is copied to git (mkPootle). - Pootle merges new POT automatically. - A translator translates new keywords introduced by new POT. - A translator checks fuzzy keywords modified by new POT. - A language admin commits translation. - POs are updated in git repository. - POs are copied to svn (mkPootle), and MOs are built (Makefile).

I don't quite understand why you need latest translations on Pootle. It could be inconsistent. Let's try the standard work flow of Pootle at first. > As a side note: > With a sole Pootle, users can't know what has changed in translations > /review or when POT merge was done, right?

In theory, if you use Quick Translate mode, you can trace new / modified keywords introduced by new POT. But it doesn't work well in etoys because there are too much untranslated keywords.

Maybe I have to learn python to help Pootle developers... Cheers, - Takashi

[Etoys] Missing Strings for Localization?
by Gerhard Steiner 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Dear all! I kindly ask for some advice to bring the Etoy Translation forward. We have translated all available strings on the pootle server (currently we are testing and correcting the German Localization). When testing the resulting etoy.mo (from Pootle etoy.po without fuzzy) with an actual etoy- image (latest etoys-image-and-pr.zip downloaded from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Etoys) I found that some strings are only in English available. No big surprise, it's an ongoing project. But there is also e.g. a missing string for an help baloon on the etoy start page which "every of the 120 million german user" will see (entry field for the name of the actual project). There are also several objects which have the main dialog items mixed in German and English eg event theatre, Menu item "make undraggable". Is there any advice on how to resolve the "most visible language mixups" in some dialogs. Is there something I should have checked before sending these message? Maybe I have missed something and just didn't get these strings into my system? When and how will more Strings become available for translation? Shall we proceed further with the translation or wait for a major update. Thank you for your understanding. best regards Gerhard Steiner

[Etoys] Gougu theorem, chinese did it as well...
by Hilaire Fernandes 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

Hello, Enclosed a snaphot of the Gougu puzzle to demonstrate the Pythagorean theorem. The construction is done with DrGeo, and the tiles of the puzzle are simulated with the translation transformation of polygons. A project file can be downloaded from our swiki at http://swiki.ofset.org:8000/super/320 However, your image need to be installed with DrGeo, in case of doubt you can just download a Squeakland image preloaded with DrGeo (See http://wiki.laptop.org/go/DrGeo). I have also recorded two videos to show the dynamic of the project: http://squeak.ofset.org/drgeo/Gougu1.ogg http://squeak.ofset.org/drgeo/Gougu2.ogg I am pretty sure it can be extended/modified for projects with students.
