Hi, thanks for the info. :) And yes, I'm pleased to see more translations coming in! As for varying scripts, I know we have one example of this. There are two Serbian translations, 'sr.po' (which is in Cyrillic) and 'sr@latin.po' (which, as the name suggests, is in Latin script). Knowing absolutely nothing about Santali, and honestly very little about localization (I trust the judgement of the smarter & more experience people on this mailing list ;-) ), I found this page: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/santali.htm Looking at the 'sat.po' file we received, it seems we have a translation to Santali in the Devanagari script (http://www.omniglot.com/writing/devanagari.htm)...? http://tuxpaint.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint/src/po/sat.po?view=markup Along with Ol Chiki (also called "Ol Cemet'", correct?) and Devanagari, it looks like Santali can also be written in Bengali script (http://www.omniglot.com/writing/bengali.htm) and Latin. I imagine we'd just want a "sat@devanagari.po", or "sat_IN@devanagari.po" file, for example. Then, since we allow overriding system locale settings via command-line or config. file options (including via 'Tux Paint Config'), we'd do something similar to what we did for Serbian: $ tuxpaint --lang help ... scottish scottish-gaelic ghaidhlig serbian serbian-latin shuswap secwepemctin ... Thanks! -bill!
