<div>Hi,<br>I have been working on the <a href="https://dev.laptop.org/translate/am/xo_core/sugar.po">link</a> (sugar.po ) Sayamindu sent me. I am still waiting for Telugu to be opened up in Pootle.<br><br>In the mean time here are my 4 questions.
<br></div>
<div> <a href="https://dev.laptop.org/translate/am/xo_core/sugar.po" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"></a></div>
<div></div>
<div>1) HOW TO FIND CONTEXT or GET SCREEN SHOTS<br></div>
<div> </div><div>
#: ../shell/controlpanel/control.py:307<br>
msgid "off"<br>
msgstr "లేదు "<br>
#: ../shell/controlpanel/control.py:309<br>
msgid "on"<br>
msgstr "ఉ౦ది "<br>
<br>
The words depend on if it is mentioning about the state of radio signal or asking user to switch on or off the radio. <br><br>
<div>#: ../shell/intro/intro.py:163<br>msgid "Next"<br>msgstr ""<br> </div>
<div>"Next" as in "next friend" or as in "next screen", as the words are slightly different in Telugu.</div><br></div>
<div>2) WHAT FREEDOMS ARE ALLOWED</div>
<div> </div>
<div>#: ../shell/view/BuddyMenu.py:84<br>msgid "Remove friend"<br>msgstr ""<br> </div>
<div>"friend" is genderless and there are no equivalent genderless words in Telugu</div>
<div>So it will be easier in my native tongue to say equivalent of "remove friendship" to make it uncomplicated.</div>
<div>Is such freedom allowed.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>#: ../shell/hardware/keydialog.py:169<br>msgid "Authentication Type:"<br>msgstr ""<br> </div>
<div>I can find literal translation but the word will not be in common usage especilly in the target age group. So can I just use the same word but with Telugu script. My guess work on Bengali translation of same po file suggests people already do that.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are there any guidelines as to to how to translate for children. I am prepared to help with this if needed as I am your typical user rather than developer.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3) SEARCHING MAILING LIST</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there a facility to search mailing list to see if similar questions have been answered before? It is easy now to just read all posts in archives, but might be difficult when it is bigger. I think it is already possible from wiki page but the mailing list home page does not say that.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div><br>4) REPEATING WORDS. Is that normal or needed.<br><br>#: ../lib/sugar/graphics/alert.py:168<br>msgid "Ok"<br>msgstr " "<br></div>
<div> #: ../lib/sugar/graphics/alert.py:244<br>msgid "OK"<br>msgstr ""<br><br>Thanks a lot for the help.<br>Satya.<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>
