MIT App Inventor Sinhala Translation Attempt Followed by Korean Translation
Thilanka Munasinghe
I have started translating some terms to Sinhala language by following the Korean language translation. The reason that I used the Korean Translation as a template is just to get an idea on how to approach.
Once we have the Sinhala language on http://pootle.appinventor.mit.edu/ , it will be easy to translate. I have already requested to add Sinhala (language from Sri Lanka) to MIT App Inventor Server. (Hopefully it will be available soon and we will be able to translate).
Meanwhile, until they create a project for Sinhala Language on the App Inventor Translation Server, Sri Lankans can start filling in some words.
I thought of sharing some of the words that I translated so that others can get an idea of what needed to be done when the Sinhala Language is available under “Languages” on App Inventor Translation Server.
Note: Since the Sinhala language does not have "Capital Letters or Simple letters", therefore it is not possible to use the “CamelCase” concept when translating, I thought of using the “underscore” to emphasize the camel_case feature in an appropriate manner to the Sinhala language. This is just a suggestion only. Please let me know if there is a standard way of doing this for languages that do not have the Capital and Simple Letters to make CameCase.
Also, Please let me know if I should stop this attempt until they create a project under Languages for Sinhala Language ( I found this is very interesting and couldn’t resist myself to wait until it the project starts on App Inventor Translation Server). Suggestions are always welcome !

AddHoursMethods = 시간 추가 = පැය_එකාතුකරානා_මෙතඩය
AddMinutesMethods = 분 추가 = විනාඩ්_එකාතුකරානා_මෙතඩය
AddMonthsMethods = 월 추가 = මාස_එකාතුකරානා_මෙතඩය
AddSecondsMethods = 초 추가 = තාත්පර_එකාතුකරානා_මෙතඩය
