I renamed two guides:
MenuBringtoFront -> MenuBring-toFront
NavigatorBarHideShow -> NavBarHideShow

About MenuMakeNewFlap1 - why the 1 at the end? And why does it not recommend the view-source key (alt-comma)? Alt-shift-w is an obscure shortcut for a good reason.

There are more guides ending in 1: ObjectCatPolygon1 ScriptTileOverlapsDot1 ScriptTileTwoColorTest1

HaloActiveHandles and MenuTicksPerSecond - mentioned in Ted's mail but I do not have them

The English index project is broken. I used the old one, did not try to fix it.

Same for the Spanish one, I had to fix it it. It had a duplicated "layer" of buttons on top ... strange. The Italian index had a screenshot of the buttons on top, too.

End of August will still be fine. 

What I need for each translation is a file mapping file names to titles. It also gives translations for the category titles. We can only use ASCII for the file names, but this file lets us use Unicode for titles. E.g. in German there are accented characters in the title but not the file names.

I made preliminary index files on my own:

Spanish http://etoys.squeak.org/svn/trunk/QuickGuides-Projects/es/index.txt
Portuguese http://etoys.squeak.org/svn/trunk/QuickGuides-Projects/pt/index.txt
Italian http://etoys.squeak.org/svn/trunk/QuickGuides-Projects/it/index.txt
German http://etoys.squeak.org/svn/trunk/QuickGuides-Projects/de/index.txt
French http://etoys.squeak.org/svn/trunk/QuickGuides-Projects/fr/index.txt

Someone should edit these. Left of the vertical bar "|" is the filename, right of it the translation. Also, it gives the order of the guides in the category so you might want to adjust this.

There is no French index project yet so I had to use the English one. And there are many guides still missing.
