These parts currently come from stuff outside Kojo — the Java runtime (JOptionPane) in the Yes/No case and RSyntaxText area in the Undo/Folding case. For example, you will see Yes/No localized in Swedish, and Undo/Folding localized in Polish.

This is fixable with some work, of course, but the extra effort required to do this has not yet been put in.

The current thinking has been to translate a subset of the Kojo API — to get kids going with Kojo in their native language. Translators have created their own documentation around their translated API (e.g Swedish — http://cs.lth.se/english/contact/regnell-bjoern/laer-dig-programmera/). Beyond a certain level, kids transition to using the default English API.

Translating stuff in the resources/samples directory (as I understand your idea) would require the prior translation of a much larger chunk of the Kojo API. Translators have not felt the need to attempt this yet.

There seems to be some parts of the UI that don't get localized. One example is the "Yes" and "No" options in the dialog where you confirm whether to discard changes in the editor before closing. Another example is "Undo" and the "Folding" options in the editor popup menu.

In a previous thread you wrote:

In the current scheme of things, there are two levels of translation:

Level 1 (UI translation) — the following file needs to be translated:
http://code.google.com/p/kojolite/source/browse/src/main/resources/net/kogics/kojo/lite/Bundle.properties

Level 2 (translation to enable (beginner level) programming in Dutch) — the following two files need to be translated (I'm pointing to the Swedish files for reference):
http://code.google.com/p/kojolite/source/browse/src/main/scala/net/kogics/kojo/lite/i18n/svInit.scala
http://code.google.com/p/kojolite/source/browse/src/main/resources/i18n/initk/sv.tw.kojo

But can't we consider there to be actually three levels of translation:

UI
scripting and turtle controller
samples

Where the samples are the tutorials, the instruction palette, sample scripts, etc., which is everything in the resources/samples directory?
Has there been any attempt yet to translate this part of the application into any other language?

I'll add the Dutch GeoGebra props using this script before we release the Dutch version:

I am working on localizing Kojo into Dutch.

I notice that the currently released GeoGebra software is already translated into Dutch, but that Dutch translation is not included in Kojo. How can be get the Dutch translation of GeoGebra into Kojo?
