From Notes

Hi All,

I have a Python GUI application. The people who are new to English from China are finding it difficult to follow up the GUI menu items.

I installed the Language Pack for simplified chinese, it didn't do the trick, as the Operating System GUI components were readable in simplified chinese where as the Python application was still in English.

Is there any work around, to produce the python application menu names/submenu names in Chinese rather in English

Any pointers in this issue would help .

Thank you, Adarsh

Hi Adarsh,

Have you tried asking this question in the forums/groups for the specific GUI toolkit you are using?

I had to undo a revision a few hours ago; someone edited the Russian/Ukrainan section to some strange foreign encoding (I guess it was the translators themselves). I guess the translators added something in their own language, for some reason.

Thanks Vages!


Vages said:

I don't know why, but for some reason the page was reverted to its last revision, and with my nick. What happened was that the nick "Hemingway" under the chinese translation was changed back to the translator's real (?) name.

I don't know how and why this was done (an error in the system or someone's hacked my account?). I hope you aren't using my account, Swaroop! :P

I hope things will be set right again soon - I don't know whether I should let it be or change it back.

Hey Vages,

The change looked very suspicious, so I did a rollback to the previous version, which apparently is different from an undo.

So, nope, there's no hacking here :-)

Sort by name

Hello,

Is it OK to do some copying and pasting to sort the translations page by name of the language? I thing it will be more readable. Ubuntu-gr.org 16:52, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


Sure, if it makes it more readable. Please don't delete content though :) -- Swaroop 05:17, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
