  I think that projects should be ultimately translated manually.

  One of the problem would be that it is not always obvious to figure
out all the user-created text in a project.  Sometime soon, we will
have a support for that task (by extracting more info from the
project).  Even then, somebody still should make sure that the layout
of translated text is ok.

  There was some discussion but we didn't take any action.  

  * We can create a directory in the etoys repository on laptop.org
    for Etoys examples in Portugese.  you will need to have an account
    to write files on to it, so it may not be too convenient during
    the test.

  * We/you can set up a network server decidated to a group of people
    to which you can "save" a project and from which others can
    download it.  SuperSwiki2 server would be good for that purpose.
    Once you add the server's info to Etoys, it is painless to
    upload/download.  The interface is be translatable, as far as I
    know.

  Probably, latter would be good for you to get going.  In bigger
scale deployment with more people in one language region and more
language regions, there will be more work.
