Translation Nite-out !!!

[Jwalanta Shrestha]

Hey guys,

Sorry for massive cross posting, but this might be interesting to all the nepali developers out there..

We at OLPC Nepal are having a Translation Nite-out! It's an 24-hour event as an attempt to complete the OLPC-XO localization.

Date and Time:
2000 NPT, 21st March, 2008 to 2000 NPT, 22nd March, 2008 (Night of Holi)
(1415 UTC, 21st March, 2008 to 1415 UTC, 22nd March, 2008)

Venue:
OLPC Development Lab preferred but you can work from anywhere (but please be available at #olpcnepal@irc.freenode.net). Coming to stay whole night and work at OLPC Dev Lab has added benefit as there'll be lots of others to consult with and Nepali-English (and vice-versa) dictionaries will be available.

Unlimited snacks and drinks available, inputs are welcome too..  (Booze also allowed, but at ur own cost n risk! ;) )

We also have special prize for the contributor with highest number of translated strings.. Be a part of it... it's gonna be fun!

For more info and reservations, see http://wiki.olpcnepal.org/index.php?title=Translation_Nite-out Feel free to reply this thread for any queries.

Regards,
Jwalanta.

Hello,

I am in charge of the Scratch project translation, and we have an entry in the OLPC Pootle server (https://dev.laptop.org/translate/projects/scratch/)

The current version of Scratch for the XO doesn't support Unicode rendering, but it will very soon (within 2 weeks, but not before March 21).
So, while you can't translate Scratch to Nepali on the OLPC Pootle server, I can send you our latest .pot file if you would like to translate it and if you send it to me I will test it and upload it to the Pootle server when we upload the new (Unicode) version of Scratch.

I can also send you our Alpha version of Unicode Scratch if you'd like to test your translation on a non-OLPC machine.

Let me know if you think this would work for you!
Evelyn
