[OLPC-Peru] A proposal to give some DICTIONARY pre-installed on the XOs that will be delivered to Peruvian Kids

[Chris Ball]

Hi Javier,

   > An idea is born I have read that the boys and girls in the "pilots"
   > develop in the high andes of my country (Peru) has been demanding
   > some tool to translate some english words that they want to know.
   > I understand fully their curiosity and need.

We both had the same response to reading this request from the pilot!
I wrote a Sugar activity that does multilingual word translation.
We've been talking about it on the sugar@ mailing list, here's a link:

I'd be interested to hear your feedback on the activity, and if you
have any suggestions on which dictionaries are best to use.  I'm
using this one for Spanish at the moment:

Thanks!
