Date: Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 10:07 PM<br>Subject: [math4] i18n<br>To: Math List <<a href="mailto:fourthgrademath@lists.sugarlabs.org">fourthgrademath@lists.sugarlabs.org</a>><br><br><br>i'm struggling right now with how to display some text on the screen<br>
with some graphics. the easiest way would be to just include it in the<br>
svg graphics. [1]<br>
<br>
however, then i started thinking of internationization (i18n). if the<br>
text is in the graphics, it would not be translatable.<br>
<br>
the questions here is: should i be concerned about i18n? i know this is<br>
a open source project and you never know where it might end up. i guess<br>
i'm looking for some input and other people's thoughts.<br>
<br>
-are people planning for i18n?<br>
-do we expect that the activities will end up outside of the us? or even<br>
in the us and used for teaching non-native english speakers?<br>
<br>
i guess i'm looking for a get-out-of-jail-free card and wondering if<br>
anyone has one.<br>
<br>
[1] = we're planning on several screens with a graphic and some text to<br>
go with it. there will be some "back" and "forward" buttons for<br>
navigation. i'm trying to find a clean and elegant way of holding the<br>
information for the screen information; something like a C-struct i<br>
think but i'm not sure yet.<br>
<br>
thanks for the input,<br>
mike<br>
