Choosing of metalanguage

Messages are translated into sme

Write more instructions

Leksa

wordlists vs. word class

variable and grammar tag - change the text so it doesn´t need any grammar tag

  • I come from Kenya-Loc
  • I think Kenya-Nom is a nice place

(the answer just picks the Nom from the analysis of the answer)

ped/oahpa/drill/templates/vasta.html 
ped/oahpa/drill/templates/sahka.html

Example: In order to write instructions for numra:

Open the document ped/oahpa/drill/templates/num.html

Edit instructions like

{% block gamename %}{% endblock %}
{% block instructions %}{% trans "add instructions here in English" %}{% endblock %}

In your own home directory, create the translations:

  • cd ped/oahpa
  • django-admin.py makemessages -a
  • svn ci -m "new generated files" locale/fi/LC_MESSAGES/django.po

... for the other files

Update the translations to the official page.

  • cd /home/oahpa/
  • svn up ped
  • cd ped/oahpa/
  • django-admin.py compilemessages

Insructions block is included: ped/oahpa/drill/templates/game.html

The django template language is documented here:

http: //docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/

in oahpa/drill/templates/num.html

{% block instructions %}{% trans "Forms for numerals." %}{% endblock %}
   XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX             YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

And correspondingly, in oahpa/locale/fi/LC_MESSAGES/django.po

#: drill/templates/num.html:21
msgid "Forms for numerals."
msgstr "Anna numeraali perusmuodossa."

So, update the Ys and not the Xs in the string above.
