Forwarding to a couple of mailing lists... <div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mike Major <<a href="mailto:jmikem@bellsouth.net">jmikem@bellsouth.net</a>> Date: Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 10:07 PM Subject: [math4] i18n To: Math List <<a href="mailto:fourthgrademath@lists.sugarlabs.org">fourthgrademath@lists.sugarlabs.org</a>> i'm struggling right now with how to display some text on the screen with some graphics. the easiest way would be to just include it in the svg graphics. [1] however, then i started thinking of internationization (i18n). if the text is in the graphics, it would not be translatable. the questions here is: should i be concerned about i18n? i know this is a open source project and you never know where it might end up. i guess i'm looking for some input and other people's thoughts. -are people planning for i18n? -do we expect that the activities will end up outside of the us? or even in the us and used for teaching non-native english speakers? i guess i'm looking for a get-out-of-jail-free card and wondering if anyone has one. [1] = we're planning on several screens with a graphic and some text to go with it. there will be some "back" and "forward" buttons for navigation. i'm trying to find a clean and elegant way of holding the information for the screen information; something like a C-struct i think but i'm not sure yet. thanks for the input, mike _______________________________________________ FourthGradeMath mailing list <a href="mailto:FourthGradeMath@lists.sugarlabs.org">FourthGradeMath@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/fourthgrademath" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/fourthgrademath</a> </div>
