Help with EXECUTE QuickGuideGenerator

[olpcpuno]

Dear friends:

After training teachers in the Peruvian Andes, we realized it was urgent to have the Etoys Help translated into Spanish, then I asked for a help to Kathleen and Rita, they sent me this helpful link

http://wiki.squeakland.org/display/sq/How+to+translate+the+Quick+Guides

Now, I’ve finished translating into Spanish all the Quick Guides, it took a little more time because I remade the images, buttons and objects to show words in Spanish.

I’ve followed all the instructions but I couldn’t EXECUTE the ‘QuickGuideGenerator new openInWorld.’ I’ve opened the WORKSPACE using Alt+k, highlighted the sentence, but I couldn’t find the DO IT command that I always used to do it in Squeak. I am using the ETOYS Squeakland-OLPC version.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards from Peru

Dear Subbu:

Thank you very much, I like how this community works when somebody needs help. I finished the translation into Spanish of the Quick Guides. Is there a repository where to put the sept files? or Should I send them to some person in charge to include this files in the next Etoys release?

Warm regards from Peru,

Sdenka

Thanks Sdenka, I already commented on the ticket:

We still need a way to actually switch between languages, for now there is only the single QuickGuides folder:


http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-60

There is indeed some "trouble" with the non-ASCII file names. They are in latin1 I believe. How did you create the zip, and on what system?


But you do not have to re-upload them, I already did that. The following is meant for the other developers


The default unpacker on the Mac creates garbage:


BooksMosaicos-Navegaci¢n.sexp.data.gz


The "unzip" command line tool creates escape sequences:


BooksMosaicos-Navegaci%F3n.sexp.data.gz
With a small script I was able to rename them to utf-8:


BooksMosaicos-Navegación.sexp.data.gz


But I'm not sure this will work across platforms? Maybe we should use utf-8 quoting:


BooksMosaicos-Navegaci%C3%B3n.sexp.data.gz


I uploaded the renamed and quoted guides to the ticket.


Or maybe we do not want to use the file names for the displayed name at all? Maybe we need a text file listing the titles and file names. That might solve the order problem (currently #suggestedOrder is only for English titles).


Currently, replacing the English guides with Sdenka's fails, because #defaultOrderIn: does not deal with the case that none of the guides in #suggestedOrder is found. Easy to fix but then the order is basically random I guess.


Also, not sure about replacing / translating the index.


Would be good if someone could work on this, now that we have translations we should make them available to kids.
