So, this is how I found it:

First, I opened the Scratch 1.4 folder (on Mac).
Then, I opened “locale”.
Finally, I scrolled down a bit. I found a file called “Scratch.pot”.

When I opened it using TextEdit, I saw a bunch of text. For the sake of the page, I'm not going to copy the whole thing, but here's a tidbit of what was in it:


And so on. So, what does this mean? Chances are only a squeak programmer will get it, but I don't know.. Please help? I think it has to do with custom languages, but I'm not sure.

It's a translation file which contains all of the translatable text strings in Scratch.

I agree, I'm not sure where the PO stands for, but the T is for Template.
So with the POT you can make a PO-file.

More specifically, .pot is the template file extension for the gettext utility on Mac and GNU/Linux systems. (Anything GNU-based, actually.)

Through the use of proven algorithms, computer modeling, and exhaustive years of calibration with the latest psychological advances, I have determined that the aforementioned file is a sign that this world is ending and giving way to a greater, more terrifying universe.

…uh, seriously? xD


And no, I don't think the world will end anytime.

My Windows Vista computer thinks it's a Microsoft PowerPoint 93-2007 Template.

Some kinda description to make a mod, make blocks and things, I think this was like a guide to program scratch, Cause those %b things are to make blocks and stuff
