- Background
- Virtaal is an excellent PO file editor developed by the same team that publishes the Pootle transltion server we use for Sugar localization (L10n).
http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/virtaal/index
It is written in Python and should be readily ported to run as a Sugar Activity.
- Task
- It would be especially desirable if the Sugarized version of Virtaal could be enhanced so that it's existing capability to read and write PO and MO files could be leveraged to use the PO or MO files present in the local source code to allow "bootstrapping" of L10n on a Sugar Environment.
Further details about what it means to "Sugarize" a program can be learned by reading this page.
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Low-level_Activity_API
There are additional enhancements that might include a method for "upstreaming" those local translations to be shared with the Sugar Community (after review and posting to the Pootle server). However for the purposes of this task, the goal is to get Virtaal running cleanly on Sugar.
