Hi all!
About Sugar:
Sugar is a learning platform that reinvents how computers are used
for education. Collaboration, reflection, and discovery are
integrated directly into the user interface. Sugar promotes "studio
thinking" and "reflective practice". Through Sugar's clarity of
design, children and teachers have the opportunity to use computers
on their own terms. Students can reshape, reinvent, and reapply both
software and content into powerful learning activities. Sugar's
focus on sharing, criticism, and exploration is grounded in the
culture of free software (FLOSS).
More information about Sugar might be found on http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/.
For some time, Sugar Labs used Google translation API to automatically
translate IRC posts in several Sugar related channels [1]. But Google
is closing this service for free usage. Since Sugar is totally about
learning/doing and, not the least one, supporting FOSS, it might be
useful to start using Apertium and ask Sugar community start contributing
to Apertium languages data bases. In this regard, a couple of questions:
* It seems that our most need is en-es/es-en translation,
how Apertium is good for, at least, initial usage for live
translation?
* Is there any ongoing project to develop a tool to simplify accepting
[small] contributions from community members? For example, Sugar Labs
uses Pootle instance [2] to coordinate i18n efforts, which is a web
service to accept contributions from the community.
