So the new strings are at the top of

	http://etoys.laptop.org/src/po/templates/etoys.pot

but it is not quite clear what values a translator would have to fill  
in. Example values should be added as comment.

Also, which of these enables Pango? And why is there a space in "  
Language-Name"?

Anyway, this gives power to the translators, so it is good. But I'm  
not sure Scratch is the best example to base this on, it has rather  
simple needs font-wise ...
