Re: [Indlinux-telugu] Bad state of Gcompris localisation

[Praveen I. <mai...@gm...>]

Hi,

In my opinion Gcompris is not easy as other applications to localize as it
is specially designed for children who belongs to age group 2-10 yrs and
who are unfamiliar with language. I am not sure about the terminology used,
whether it can be understandable by the children or not but I tried to keep
it simple. Still it has to be simplified alot. While I initiated this in
2011, I have covered most of the UI part and did upto 45%. After that I
never touched that again as it was a big package and takes time to clone
and I also have a doubt that who are gonna use it even though it is
localized :(

Later I have created project in transifex for friendly translation platform
where anyone can join and localize few projects.
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/Telugu/

Yeah, translation of strings is not enough and more work has to be done. I
think together we need to focus on Gcompris to bring it to usable condition.

Addons and voice translation can be done and color translation in Telugu is
very tough.

Cheers,
Praveen Illa.
