Hello,
We've added some mechanism to Etoys so that you can (indirectly) specify the rendering mechanism for text in Etoys.
Soon an few entries will show up on the Pootle server, and one of these is "Linux-Font". If you think your language should be rendered with Pango, specify the prefered font name as the translation. Or, if you think it is not necessary, leave it blank.
The font name doesn't have to exact; as long as the entry is not empty, the Etoys system asks Pango to render text. Likewise, please provide the language name in the language for "Language-Name". It will be displayed in the language chooser menu.
The entries are the same as Scratch's; so I will copy-and-paste from Scratch's to Etoys as a default.
Sayamindu, could you run the script that push stuff from git to Pootle, if the next 24 hour cycle is not too close?

Done.

Thank you, Sayamindu,
By the way, while trying to copy the "extra information" from Scratch to Etoys, I found that some translators translated the keyword, when they are supposed to provide the information. For example, Linux-Font in French for Scratch is translated, "Fonte-Linux", and "Language-Name" in Kreyol is "Lang-Non", Linux-Font for Turkish is "linux yaz? tipi", etc. (I pasted the "Language-Name" entry from Arabic, but not sure what it actually says.) I saw bunch of language names in Scratch and all looked ok so I was assuming the data on Pootle is ok, too...
So, folk, please visit these entries and read the comments. Thank you!

It says "Arabic" in Arabic :) BTW. I tested the Arabic support in Scratch and I'm impressed (I know it is all pango goodies, but still impressed that what I thought a complex self contained system managed to get this support while more simpler apps didn't make it).
I think we could split the system configuration stuff into another domain to avoid such confusion. /Korakurider

IMHO the comments in the POT are not explicit enough for a translator to understand their "meta" nature. They should have examples. Also the phrase could be made to stand out better. Maybe a common prefix, and use all upper-case? "PO_LANGUAGE_NAME" might alert the translator better than "Language-Name" which looks like any regular phrase:
#: TRANSLATORS: Put in the name of your language, NOT the translation of "language name". E.g. "Español" or "Русский". msgid "PO_LANGUAGE_NAME"
And since Etoys does not use a single font like Scratch does, why do we try to mimic it?
