Only Languages that have a real country/place are allowed. For example:
French (From the country of France)
Spanish (From the country of Spain)
German (From the country of Germany)

Pig Latin are not allowed, because we count them as “game language” or not a real language.
Meow is an exception though, because it was added for April Fools' day.

:wq

How do I report ppl?Some guy is cussing help!

There is a report button on the top right of every comment, or if you need to report a user, there is a report button near the top of the page, and on forum posts the report button is down on the bottom right.

Hope I've helped!

I saw a project that was not able to to be played because it was in foreign language and many users got annoyed.

I always get agitated by projects that are in different language.

HUGE error in spanish translation!!!!!!!!! The translation for “login” and any mention of “enter” is “ingresar”, but ingresar means to go to the hospital! The correct translation would be “entrar”

You have to accept that english isn't the only language in the world and that not everyone can speak english.

Hello! Does someone know who is the main responsible for translation stuff? Since on Credits it seems like adlogi has retired from Scratch Team…

I signed up on http://translate.scratch.mit.edu/ and got an activation e-mail. after using the link in the e-mail, I got an error message, but the account was activated.

Another problem I have is that the contact link on the Wiki page doesn't work. I would like to get reviewer status, so I can get the strings in.

BTW I have seen a post in this thread that recommends using Google translate to do the translation job - I recommend that you don't. Google translate is fine if you wish to understand what somebody has written in another language, but it is not good enough to do actual translation work. So, please just don't.

repeat until <not <(language) = [English]>>
set (language) to [Gàidhlig]    
end

Sorry or the double post, I don't seem to have editing privileges.

It would be really great if you didn't set XGETTEXT to sort alphabetically, because this removes all context from the strings. This makes it harder to find the strings in the interface e.g. to solve the old question “Am I translating a verb or a noun here”?

i could try using google translate. just it might be a lot to translate though… don't have to translates projects happily!

If you should use Google translate, please make sure that you proofread everything carefully.

Thanks for the offer, but the foreign languages forums are here so native speakers of real languages can have Scratch in their own language. Novelty languages such as pig latin and backwards writing aren't useful to this goal, so please don't suggest them.
