We have some practice at teaching Etoys at this point. How/what would you like me to teach them about translating? What is the minimum they need to know to start helping you? Thanks, Caroline Caroline, Here are my thoughts (from a L10n process perspective), although Tim or Beth can speak for Waveplace. Haitian Kreyol Project on Pootle http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ht/ eToys itself needs more work http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ht/etoys_new/ Waveplace lesson templates for malaria and geometry are available here. (Basic eToys is there, but already translated). http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ht/Waveplace/ Check the Waveplace Courseware wiki page to see if any more templates are available, I think I've got most of them on Pootle now. The PO files are easily converted to text with po2txt from Translate Toolkit Quoting from: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Translation_Team/Pootle_Projects#Waveplace_Lessons Waveplace Lessons These are outlines and materials for Waveplace lessons using eToys. There are two very important elements of *context* that should be kept in mind when localizing these materials. 1. Each PO file is only part of an overall 10-week lesson plan. You should familiarize yourself with the entire set of materials related to the module you are localizing by reviewing it at the link below. http://wiki.waveplace.org/display/wp/Courseware 2. Many of the directions in these lessons use terms that have specific meaning in eToys or refer to commands / menu items in eToys. You should make sure that the translation of those terms is consistent with the way they are localized in eToys itself to avoid confusion. This can easily be done by searching those terms in the eToys Pootle project. cjl ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

A selection of these materials are available for localization via our Pootle server now, with more to come. http://translate.sugarlabs.org/projects/Waveplace/ cjl On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 10:18 AM, Timothy Falconer tee...@waveplace.orgwrote: Hi partners and friends, We're looking for a little help with our Waveplace courseware.

Re: [IAEP] [support-gang] volunteer translators needed
Copied to Kreyol mailing list. I can understand that localization in Haiti has stalled since the earthquake, since most schools that had XOs now have no electricity to charge them. Illinois Institute of Technology is trying to remedy that with the design for rooftop solar power systems for Haitian schools, but they need funding. Anybody have contacts in UNICEF, UNDP, or elsewhere whom we can talk to?

Help from Waveplace would be greatly appreciated. http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ht/ These were the Sugar localizers.
