Does the interface include the Help screens?

On the German forum, someone was complaining that all the Help screens were GIF images, which makes them difficult to translate:

Hi Kevin,

Currently, we don't support translating the help screens because they are image files, as you have said.  We would love to change this for the future, perhaps by including actual blocks in the help screens and having the only hard coded image part be the graphical example that comes along with the help screen. 

The text at the bottom of the help screens could presumably be translatable text, too.
Those strings could then be added to the bottom of the .po file, in their own section, much like the MIDI strings are.

We'll add this to the growing list of translation requests, thanks!

I have translated Scratch into Croatian, what do I need to do to make it available as part of Scratch distribution?

Hello vili-dp,

Thank you very much for you offer to provide us with your Croatian translation of the Scratch interface.  Please feel free to email the file directly to me at evelyn@media.mit.edu.

Please do not hesitate to email me at that address if you have any other questions regarding Scratch translations.

Sincerely,

I have taken the lovely de.po file that was made by Jens (I think) and I have added translations for all the new features in Panther to it. Am I allowed to distribute the edited .po file with Panther? Also, we were having trouble finding the correct german translations for our mesh blocks... can you see if you can think of a better way to put any of these?

join mesh               = mit Mesh verbinden
host mesh              = Mesh Kreieren
mesh IP address      = Mesh IP Adresse
leave mesh             = Mesh verlassen
hosting mesh?         = Haupt Mesh?

not sure about the translation for host mesh.

thanks for the help

Maybe?

join mesh               = mit Mesh verbinden
host mesh              = Mesh-Server hosten
mesh IP address      = Mesh IP Adresse
leave mesh             = Mesh verlassen
hosting mesh?         = Bin ich ein Mesh-Server?

I think.

If I would type [;' on my keyboard, it would be üöä.

hmmm.... interessant... dass koentte so besser klingeln... wie mach man unlaut o auf die tastatur?

EDIT: oh, this is an english page...

hmmmm, interesting, that could sound better, how do you type umlaut o on the keyboard?

i'm guessing umloat or wxhatever is ü or ö or ä...
get it on the internet or use the ascii code

If my keyboard were set to canadian french, the umlaut would be

ö, which is where my right curly bracket is normally.

Count me in for French - anybody want to join me?

I want to translate scratch interface into Bengali/Bangla. Went to translate..scratch.mit.edu to register and found the site having no content. Can you please, locate me the PO files to translate.

thanks in advance.

Hey maktrix. The translation site is currently down, until the release of Scratch 2.0. When it reopens, there'll be instructions on how to translate the new Scratch interface. 

So, could I turn the languages that I don't understand into english, or would the words and characters stay the same?

Since this thread reflects an old, outdated translation process, we will close it.
