Hello, This is not an official answer, just telling my opinion. Can´t you make the words any way smaller? is that possible in your language? Example in Finnish lang we can use some shorter version of word. Olli 2011/5/26 <go...@co...> > Hi all, > > The Bemba Translation Team is in the process of translating tuxpaint.

Hi Olli. Yes some words we can shorten; others would lose meaning when shortened or could mean something else ;) Thanks Anthony From: "Olli" <oll...@gm...> To: "Tux Paint internationalization and translation discussion." <tux...@li...> Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2011 1:00:47 PM Subject: Re: [Tuxpaint-i18n] Translation Hello, This is not an official answer, just telling my opinion.

I may be able to find some time to try and adjust things in preparation for the next version (scaling, scrolling, etc.) Feel free to send along the Bemba translations and I can place them in CVS and use them as an example of translations that require more space than most. Thanks a bunch! -bill! |
