My 9 year old son started complaining about the incomplete words in lesson 4 or 5, I think. Like others have mentioned, both because of the incomplete and the inappropriate words (both in terms of content and relevance), I somewhat regret having enthusiastically recommended Ktouch to his primary school. Also, it makes the windows-based applications look so much better, since they make you type real words that are more relevant and fun for pupils at a primary school. Now, since editing the training .xml-files is pretty easy, I'll simply go through and modify it by hand before submitting a patch. :) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeedu/+bug/199771/comments/14 On 2010-11-26T13:12:20+00:00 Anne-Marie Mahfouf wrote: Thanks Jarl!

I've just _manually_ updated the Norwegian language file ( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166071 ) but it was pretty quick and only took me about 3 hours to research and write up. I think the result works quite well and I'd like to challenge others to do the same for their language. BTW: Glancing casually at the Danish file, it seems that may be the gold standard in terms of educational value with not only very pedagogically correct lesson progression but also large sections of fact-based texts that actually teach you something about the world as you type. Maybe simply run it through Google translate and work manually from there in your language? I havn't tried the scripts but since they are based on feeding in extracted lists from dictionaries such as aspell, it shouldn't be too difficult to tweak them to output comlete words only as long as you have enough short input words that cover the earlier lessons. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdeedu in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199771 Title: Half the words in KTouch aren't real words or are incomplete -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

mestizo is a word that describes a person of mixed descent (mix of European and American Native bloods), just thought i would throw that out there, but i agree with the rest of this -- Half the words in KTouch aren't real words or are incomplete https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199771 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
