Thank you for your questions, that is exactly what the Localization list is
for.  And thanks to Walter (The lead TurtleArt developer) for jumping in
and answering them, if any more questions come up, please post them to the
list.

Feedback like this from localizers is important to give our developers an
opportunity to improve the internationalization of their Activities.  I
think in this case, the original development for things related to Butia
probably occurred in Uruguay (in Spanish) with Walter incorporating it into
TurtleArt and it represents one of the interesting challenges presented by
the increasing numbers of Spanish language contributors to Sugar from the
large South American OLPC deployments.  As a practical matter, we need to
translate the strings into English (as the bridging language of most of our
L10n team) to make these contributions more widely available.  It is
certainly well worth the effort, but does require extra input from
localizers to improve the clarity of strings sometimes. Thanks for your
help with this.

Warmest Regards,

cjl
Sugar Labs Translation Team Coordinator
