Chapter 6. Translator's Guide to KTurtle

As you probably already know, the unique feature of the Logo programming language is that the Logo commands are often translated to language of the programmer. This takes away a barrier for some learners to understand the basics of programming. When translating KTurtle to a new language some more files have to be translated in addition to the usual strings and documentation. Yet most it is autogenerated by Rafael Beccar's scripts. These scripts can be found in kdeedu/kturtle/scripts, the files that needs translation can be found in kdeedu/kturtle/data, in those directories you also find README files which contains instructions for using/translating them.

Creating a Directory to hold the Translated Files

First, you need to create a directory to store the translated files. Create a directory called kde-i18n/code/data/kdeedu/kturtle/ in your KDE CVS directory, where code is your country code (the 2- or 4- letter ISO code).

Copy the Makefile.am file from kdeedu/kturtle/data/ into this directory. Open it using your favorite text editor, replace all instances of “en_US” in the file with your country code (the one used above), and save the file.
