</div>Yes, this can be a challenge, but only so much context can be put into<br>
a developer's comment. Do you have any specific suggestions to<br>
improve the developer's comments I proposed? I've attached the<br>
spreadsheet again and once again provide the git commit link that will<br>
implement them:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
<a href="http://git.sugarlabs.org/tamtam/tamtam/commit/b49b14cf394f06e7ab788ff5ab9e521116a2a368" target="_blank">http://git.sugarlabs.org/tamtam/tamtam/commit/b49b14cf394f06e7ab788ff5ab9e521116a2a368</a><br>
<br>
</div>Slap - The sound of something being hit<br>
<br>
Crash - The sound of glass breaking<br>
<br>
Chimes - The sound made by this instrument <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimes" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimes</a><br>
<br>
admittedly "Chimes" is a re-direct to<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular_bell" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular_bell</a> so perhaps it would have<br>
been better to re-name the tooltip "Tubular bell" and use the second<br>
URL, but the end result is the same if you follow the link.<br>
<br>
I struggled a bit with one sound, previously named "Armbone", but<br>
settled on providing this link:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowing_a_raspberry" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowing_a_raspberry</a><br>
<br>
which conveniently has a video of the sound being made. In my own<br>
regional dialect of English, this would be known as a 'Bronx Cheer"<br>
and I believe it to be considered a rude sound in most cultures.<br>
<br>
If you have specific improvements to the suggestions I've made, please<br>
provide them, either to the list or as a ticket on <a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">bugs.sugarlabs.org</a>.<br>
As I mentioned, now is the time to do it as the TamTam suite is<br>
getting developer attention with the aim of reducing the extensive<br>
redundancy between the four PO files by producing a single unified PO<br>
file.<br>
<br>
I really should emphasize that it is not entirely clear if the unified<br>
POT file for the restructured version of the Tam Tam Suite will be<br>
made available before the 11.2.0 release. We've already had the<br>
second release candidate published for testing (with a July 18th<br>
target date for release) and so while Honey activites do not generally<br>
follow the Sugar release cycle, we should consider ourselves in<br>
something of a "soft" string freeze for the purpose of the upcoming<br>
11.2.0 release by OLPC.<br>
<br>
Alexandro, I would also like to mention that the AbiWord PO file is in<br>
urgent need of a thorough review by a native Spanish speaker, and your<br>
experience with OpenOffice would make you an excellent candidate for<br>
this important task. Unfortunately the AbiWord Spanish L10n was in<br>
very bad shape (IMHO) when I uploaded it from their repo and I think<br>
it needs a top-to-bottom, string-by-string review to achieve the<br>
standards to which we aspire given the importance of our<br>
Spanish-speaking community.<br>
