[etoys-dev] Re: Need for translation in DrGeo

[Ricardo Moran]

Thanks! Now I understand a lot better why I wasn't able to translate the
tiles.

I don't understand what you're saying about each string knowing its domain
by marking it #translatedNoop.
What is the usage of #translatedNoop currently? I see that it has an empty
implementation so I guess it's just used to mark strings but when are those
strings translated?

Cheers
Richo
