[Tuxmath-devel] i18n of math questions in comet game

[David B. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi,

We just switched the drawing of the formulas in the comet game to
standard SDL text rendering as part of Google Code-In.  In the course
of fine-tuning this, I've changed the generation of the question
strings to use format strings that can be handled by gettext (see
below from latest po/tuxmath.pot).  So now, the display can account
for locale-specific differences in how equations are typically
displayed.

For the default symbols, I've chosen the ones that US primary schools
typically use (e.g. "x" rather than "*" for multiplication, and "÷"
rather than "/" for division).  It was a bit of a task to get the
division symbol entered because it isn't on standard keyboards, and
even capable text editors like Vim insert it by means of something
called "digraphs", which don't actually put in the corresponding
UTF-8.

Best,

David
