Hi Stef,

Nice to hear that somebody is interested in Babel ;-)

Before I get the time to publish a .sar with Babel the easiest way to try
it is using the Small-Land's image.

Follow these steps:

- Get the Small-Land image from http://squeak.linex.org/W32/Squeak35-
SmallLand-Imagen.zip

- Update the image using the button labeled [actualizar] (update in
spanish) in the small-land flap.

- Change the language to (for example) German evaluating:
   Project current setNaturalLanguageTo: #German

NOTE: French is not available because this version depends on the
languages in Vocabulary class>>initializeLanguageTable. This will be fixed
soon. By now just use German but translate the phrases to French.

- Now you can start the translation using the LanguageEditor, to get it
evaluate:
   LanguageEditor openOnDefault

- In the Spanish instance you can find the most complete list of phases to
translated (about 1400).  In the current version the pharesToTranslate
list is hold in every language instance, I'll move these list to Language
class to share it over all languages.


Don't hesitate to contact me for any question/comment.  In fact I'm
looking for comments for weeks :-)

Cheers,

Diego Gomez Deck
