[Localization] Scratch Now Available in UTF-8 for OLPC

[Evelyn Eastmond]

Hello Everyone,

There is a new version of Scratch available for download here: 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities.
This version of Scratch uses larger fonts for better legibility and also 
adds Unicode support for all non-Western languages.

While this version of Scratch now comes in 30+ languages, translation is 
still very actively in progress.
All translations for Scratch will be done using OLPC's Pootle server: 
http://dev.laptop.org.

How you can help:
1. Sign up on Pootle and add to the existing Scratch translations, or 
add your own language: https://dev.laptop.org/translate/
2. Visit our draft how-to page (a work in progress) and suggest 
improvements:  
http://scratch.wik.is/Support/In_many_languages/Translating_Scratch
3. Email evelyn at media.mit.edu if you are interested in helping us 
develop a tutorial on how to localize the Scratch *media* files to other 
cultures (sounds/images/sample projects)

Please do not hesitate to email evelyn at media.mit.edu with any questions 
or suggestions regarding Scratch's localization support.

Thanks for your time and contributions!
Sincerely,
Evelyn Eastmond
