Bert Freudenberg updated SQ-640:
--------------------------------

          Summary: Receiver name in command tile gets translated  (was: Translation structure design fault)
      Component/s:     (was: etoys-sugar)
                       (was: etoys-win)
                       (was: etoys-linux)
                       (was: etoys-plugin)
                       (was: etoys-olpc)
                       (was: etoys-mac)
    Fix Version/s: etoys 5 and showcase
      Description: 
When you call a painted object e.g. "fire" and you switch to "german translation", it becomes translated into "löse aus" (what means: "trigger") ...

Translation in Etoys is fine, but not for 'object names'!

I fear, that there is a basic design fault in EToys ...

My suggestion -> directory containing translation files ... so people can edit strings on their own ... and - of course a complete redesign of string handling ... looks quite time-consuming ...

happy christmas!



         Priority: Critical  (was: Normal)

No need for fear, this is just a simple bug, no fundamental issue with the translation process. It even affects just command tiles, as you can see, property tiles are fine. 

And people can translate strings on their own. Etoys uses standard gettext-format translation files. No problem there either.

Thanks for reporting.
