In this image the string "when this script should run" should be translated to "quando este script deve rodar" according to the portuguese po file. Why some string don't get translated even when there are translations for them in the po file?

It works fine if you create your own objects and scripts:



The problem is that when you start Etoys it comes up in English, then it loads the Portuguese translation, and translates all visible objects on the fly. That on-the-fly translation is not perfect yet. It sounds similar to this issue:

Do you know Squeak programming already? If not, here is some documentation to get you started:
