[Sugar-devel] Run Sugar activity

[Jui Pradhan]

Thanks for replying,

-Regarding the translations I added a few translations to the Analyze
Activity. I havent really tried applying any translate.sugarlabs.org changes
using the download script locally yet. However, kindly tell me if you have
any suggestions or steps which you think might help or tips on solving the
most likely problems that I might face.
- Thanks for helping with getting the activity running for testing version
changes. :)
- If I make any progress in fixing the disappearing status icons on bottom
right of the frame (issue in my first video) I will comment on github issue
or use the mailing list. Currently looking for possible reasons that might
have caused this error. :)
- Regarding the second bug, its not just the terminal icon that gets stuck
on top of the journal, however all icons can possibly get stuck. I have a
video of the actions leading up to this. Link to the video:
