[Etoys] #3276 BLOC Trial-3: Spanish translation for Etoys

[Xavier Alvarez]

Only GUI literals? Funny, because the EToys PO [1] includes things 
like:

#: KedamaTurtleMorph>>additionsToViewerCategories
msgid "forward:"

#: KedamaTurtleMorph>>additionsToViewerCategories
msgid "colorToPatch:"

#: KedamaMorph>>additionsToViewerCategories
msgid "getPixelsPerPatch"

#: KedamaPatchMorph>>additionsToViewerCategories
msgid "getDisplayShiftAmount"

which definitely look like selectors to me :)

Guess then it'll just be a matter of validating the text not to 
have duplicate translations... although what I really feel 
'uncomfortable' with is that the 'translated protocols' (if you 
dare call them such) will have a very un-natural birth, as they 
haven't evolved and settled into accepted terms and good naming 
conventions that only time and use gives... that and the fact 
that spanish has different grammar and regional variations... oh 
well, we'll just have to try our best :)


Cheers,
Xavier
