Hello, We have had this discussion before: we need to support multiple languages in a specific order while handling translations, eg: Aymara: Spanish: English
I want to get this done for 9.1, and fiddled around with sugar code for sometime, and got the following screenshot (from Memorize activity): http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/sugar_multilang.png (Restart Game is not translated into Aymara, so it shows up in Spanish as Reiniciar Juego, while the rest is in Aymara) With some work, I think I'll be able to come up with a patch which would enable this for sugar as well as the activities. However, there are two questions: a) This breaks existing i18n code. This means, activities which call "from gettext import gettext as _" will not be able to use translations. Removing that import line would work fine though. Is that OK ? There's a slightly ugly workaround that works in the initial tests that I did, but with that, activities with "from gettext import gettext as _" in the code will support only one non English language at a time. b) We would need to change the control panel to support slection of >1 languages. Eben, do you have any recommendation on how this should be done ? I have a mockup at http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/scp_multilang_mockup.png Thanks, Sayamindu -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [http://sayamindu.randomink.org/ramblings] _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
