We have started to translate the projects loaded on the XO for the Uruguayan deployment. We have found that, when we try to put an acute (like í) editing the text from the visor, they just don't work: On the textbox, it appears as a square, and in the workspace as a space.
The problem happens in the moment you press the acute key (it doesn't wait until you press the next key).
The keyboard is set up as LANG="es_AR.UTF-8", XKB_LAYOUT="es"
Any suggestions?
Pablo,

Sorry but what is the visor? What is the textbox? Are you trying to provide translation on https://dev.laptop.org/translate/?

No, I'm not talking about the translation of the activity, but the translation of the etoys projects (.pr) which come loaded on the XO laptops, and we are trying to do it just using etoys (opening a visor on the text objects and modifying them).
Regards, Pablo

Oh, do you mean "viewer", don't you?
And, I now realized that the keyboard behaves very differently in different locales and it indeed doesn't work with Spanish keyboard. Wow. Sorry about that. I really need to look into it...

Yeah, that's it, the "viewer" ("visor" is in spanish ;-) )
Unfortunately, the keyboard doesn't behave well with accents, so we aren't being able to have the projects translated and Uruguayan teachers are finding difficult to use the tool in English. Do you have any suggestions for translating the projects in another way, so we can work on it while the bug isn't fixed?

Could you please describe the keyboard problem in more detail in a trac ticket? Is it the same as (http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6280)? This the Spanish keyboard?
regards.

It may sound strange, but if you set the locale to 'en' on XO, you should be able to type an accented character by hitting the base character first and then the accent. (For the accent, you need to press a right key with Alt GR. Look at the picture here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Image:Keyboard_english.png
to figure out which key. For example é can be inserted by hitting "e" and AltGR+4.
Etoys looks at the locale and switch to the language, so if you set the locale of system to en, you set the Etoys's language from the flag button in the menu bar.
You can also just input these characters on Windows or Mac, I believe. And, Etoys works fine on them. That is certainly an option.
