| − | Level Tool is an activity to check the inclination of a surface with respect to ground.

| − | === How does Level Tool work ===
| + | The source file has been moved to [https://github.com/godiard/help-activity/blob/master/source/level_tool.rst GitHub] |
| − | | |
| − | Level Tool uses your accelerometer to detect the inclination of your XO with respect to ground and displays it in a well defined circular grid.

| − | === Where to get Level Tool ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Level Tool activity is available for download from the [http://activities.sugarlabs.org Sugar Activity Library]: [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4628 Level Tool]
| |
| − | | |
| − | The source code is available on [http://git.sugarlabs.org/level-tool the Sugar Labs Gitorious server].
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Where to report problems ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can report bugs and make feature requests [https://bugs.sugarlabs.org on our bug-tracking system] (You need to create an account first). Please add "lionaneesh" in the CC list to notify the maintainer [untill we get our own component].

| − | In short, this activity uses the XO 1.75 and XO-4 internal accelerometer to
| |
| − | measure the tilt of the laptop in the horizontal plane and display x
| |
| − | and y coordinates (to two decimal places).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The only three strings in the PO file are.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Level
| |
| − | | |
| − | x: %.2f
| |
| − | | |
| − | y: %.2f
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | In this context, the meaning of the word Level would be a verb form (we try to name activities with verbs to show they are for "doing") and it would represent that action of making something flat in the horizontal plane.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "She levels the sand before building a castle."
| |
| − | | |
| − | It does NOT have the connotation of "height", as in "the sound level is too high".
| |
| − | | |
| − | If a verb form of "level" is awkward or not available, a noun form describing the instrument used to measure flatness in the horizontal plane, would be acceptable and an accurate description of the function the activity provides.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As for the other two strings
| |
| − | | |
| − | x: %.2f
| |
| − | | |
| − | y: %.2f
| |
| − | | |
| − | The x and y represent the lower-case x and y symbols employed to describe two of the axes in the Cartesian coordinate system, they are not really the Latin alphabet letters themselves, but those letters used as symbols to represent a mathematical concept, in the same manner that the Greek letter "π" or pi is used to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter. For many languages, there will be no need to change the x or y symbol at all, because the true source language of "mathematics" has a certain universality. The rest of those two strings "%.2f" instructs the program to display numbers with two decimal points of precision and should not be changed in L10n.
