Hi everyone!
I have a native Chinese student who is planning to translate our music lessons into Mandarin. She looked online for a Chinese version of Etoys, but was unable to get it. When we tried to change the language in our regular version of Etoys (v 4.1.1) it said that it couldn't install the font.
Could you please help?
Thanks! Hope you are all having a great start to the new year!

It should work on Linux, where Etoys can make use of the system fonts. This was added in particular for the OLPC XO laptop. On Mac and Windows it would require adding a Chinese font package (similarly to how we support e.g. Japanese) but nobody has created that yet.
