see below - our spanish fluent test ninja from Auckland tested both
apps from James Simmons.
I don't have his contact details - can someone pass this onwards?

Read E-text: According to
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Read_Etexts the activity should read
either .txt or .zip. I tried both and it reads fine (txt with iso-8859-1, I
couldn't find an ascii encoded file). I checked for the accents on the five
vowels, the inverted question marks and exclamation marks (at opening of
sentences) and the 'n' with the wiggle on top. Whenever I found an error, it
was also present in the original document (as per my mac reader). So
probably typos.

Get internet archive activity seems to run well, I am able to download, but
I cannot find a way of opening the files. It says in
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Get_Internet_Archive_Books that I
should be able to read them using the core read activity. I downloaded this:
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4028, and when I click on
it it starts downloading and then I go back to the mojo circle. So I don't
know why it is not opening. However, the downloaded files try to use this
activity to open. I then downloaded this one
http://dev.laptop.org/%7Emorgan/bundles/Read-52.xo, and that seems to at
least not crash, and it can open some of the image files that I downloaded
and that are small enough for it to handle.

Both activities have all the menus, etc all in english, so especially with
the internet archive it is hard to know what they want to have tested. In
the panel that shows the titles, the titles are showing ok in spanish with
characters looking OK (as far as I can tell), the description of the
download etc is all in english. But as far as I can tell I cannot look
inside the document from that activity. It only gives me the option to
download in djvu, or b/w or color pdf. Most of the stuff in the library are
scanned books, so they download as images (so the text will look ok).
