I believe the list of "speaking" activities is greater than that (based on the PO files containing the languages from e-speak and other hints). See also: jigsaw-puzzle slider-puzzle clock The e-speak code contains it's own set of language names, limited to those present in the upstream e-speak collection A(fairly limited). It might be nice if the activities chose a sensible default based on locale, but still offered the speak control options. Harmonizing the language and parameter selection stuff across speaking activities would be a L10n win if it eliminated some strings across activities by centralizing them elsewhere.. These translator comments from the last few strings of Clock might be helpful on the e-speak parameter stuff. TRANS: The language pitch (range [0 - 99], default 50 for English) Look at http://espeak.sourceforge.net/commands.html for details TRANS: The diction speed, in average words per minute (range [80 - 390], default 170 for English). Look at http://espeak.sourceforge.net/commands.html for details TRANS: The pause duration between words, in units of 10 ms. Look at http://espeak.sourceforge.net/commands.html for details TRANS: The language and voice variant Look at http://espeak.sourceforge.net/commands.html for details, and http://espeak.sourceforge.net/languages.html to see if your language is supported. _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
