轻量级软件用中文ProjectHope - updatehelp & translation to Project Hope school

[Phillip]

Hi Linux-users

Sorry to write in English. (An ugly translation to Chinese is in top
and English below).

首先, 由于ShanghaiLUG
您伟大的好客。帮助老师和小学学生全部必须是用中文并且我们需要的Linux 必须是简单与Gnumeric 作为报表, Thuna 作为
fileeditor 和Mousepad 作为编辑。那是新轻量级节目不是用中文, 。并且"edutainment" 软件只部分喜欢
Childsplay, Gcompris, Tuxpaint, Gtans, hanzim, hrd, 中国比赛加上Inkscape 是用中文
的Gnugo 。Abiword 需要更加中国的字体。当前发行是Xubuntu, 但翻译问题是Linux 普遍的, 我认为。如果您安排时间请挑选
一些节目翻译 翻译或发现一些轻量级Debian/Ubuntu
等值为我们.

First, thanks to the ShanghaiLUG for your great hospitality. To help
teachers and primary school pupils all has to be in Chinese and the
Linux we need has to be simple with Gnumeric as spreadsheet, Thuna as
fileeditor and Mousepad as editor. That is new lightweight programs
that is not in Chinese, yet. Also the "edutainment" software like
Childsplay, Gcompris is not all in Chinese.
Only partly, the Tuxpaint, Gtans, hanzim, hrd, Gnugo Chinese games
plus Inkscape are in Chinese. Abiword needs more Chinese fonts.
The present distribution is Xubuntu, but the translation problems are
Linux-universal, I think.
If you have time please pick out some programs to translate or find
some lightweight Debian / Ubuntu equivalents for us.

Best regards

Phillip Bøgh

Haha， This is quite interesting. I always think that the linux shall be promoted among people who have not been dominated by windows.Ubuntu is easy to learn and user-frinedly.Only problem is just like phillip has mentioned that the chinese version is not translated in a natural way.For example,the English version of OpenOffice suite is much better,in terms of fonts and layout. I used to work for a company who localizing the OpenOffice into chinese version. The problem for such company is their market is limited.Perhaps the education sector will be potential in future.

By the way, do you guys from shlug often meet each other, like a regular seminar or a meeting? If, i will be happy to attend.
