Translating for XO using Pootle

Submitted by sverma on Saturday, February 2, 2008 - 16:08

Code | Miscellaneous | OLPC | SFSU | XO

These are slides based on how one would go about translating text for different pieces of software on the XO machine for OLPC. Typically, translation involves a good understanding of different pieces of software, but Pootle makes it easy. Its a web component that allows anyone to type in translated strings and click a button. That's it!

See attached slides for more specifics.

Update: Slides with newer screenshots are available at http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/pootleforxo2.odp and http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/pootleforxo2.pdf

Ah, the smell of a CC license in the morning!

Bob Chao has translated my slides into Chinese, all made possible because of his enthusiasm and the Creative Commons license. His translations:
