[Etoys] [Localization] Mongolian translations for Etoys

[enky at MIT.EDU]

Dear E-Toys team,

Elana asked me to translate E-toys into Mongolian. Therefore, I formed 
the team
of Mongolian professors and translated E-Toys. I worked very hard to translate
it and get many advices from them. I sent the translation directly to E-Toys
team as well as Mongolian team. Since the time was short, I tried to 
move on to
next step. We have divided our work. Elana asked me to stay in the city to
translate E-Toys while rest of the team went to countryside for teacher
training.

It seems that Cris wrote this email to E-toys team. If there is any wrong word
in my translation, please let me know. I would like to know what I did 
wrong. All the Mongolian professors who edited the translation agreed 
that the
translation was done well. No one in claimed to translate E-Toys in Mongolian
back then. However, I decided to translate and finished it. After I have done
all the work, it is disappointing to hear that I did something wrong.

I sent the final edition to both Mongolian team and SJ. Some people get angry
that I sent the translation direclty to SJ as well. In the meeting with the
Minister of Education and the Mongolian core team, I was assigned to 
finish 80%
of translation and the translation team (Cris and other people) to 
finish 20% of
the all translation. I finished my 80% of translation (E-Toys). My translation
was edited by Mongolian language professors and Computer Science professors.
They are the famous professors in Mongolia. They said the translation is very
well done.

I translated E-toys for Mongolian children and their education. Mongolian
professors told me that they edited the translation, because it is for
Mongolian children. I worked in days and nights to finish the translation.
People worked with me on this know about it. I can assure you that this
translation is done well, because the important professors and professionals
worked on this.
We are all working for Mongolian children. I think that you are also 
working for
children around the world. OLPC get us all together and work as a team. 
As team,
Cris should have told me about what was wrong. I am disappointed that he never
told me anything about my translation, but criticizing me to other people.

I will come to the Ministry of Education tomorrow and tell about his 
email about
me. I am doing all this work for Mongolian children. I am still working 
for OLPC
in Mongolia right now.

Best regards,
Enkhmunkh Zurgaanjin
