Steve put this on JIRA yesterday, so I guess etoys-dev is the best place to discuss it.

From: Stephen Thomas (JIRA) tracker@squeakland.org Date: Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 6:00 PM Subject: [etoys-notify] [JIRA] Created: (SQ-1136) Text should default to tranlatable I believe that the Text objects (in Supplies bin) should default to "translatable" and we should not have to check this box each time.

From a usability point of view, this makes sense to me. Otherwise it

becomes more of a chore than it ought to be to translate (say) a Spanish project to English.

Would Steve's suggestion cause problems for the translation team or the translation infrastructure?
