Hi

Just tested, nice. It installs and runs but there are l10n issues.

There's no language selection menu and even with the workaround of using 
the Custom Locale app (which makes Android behave as if it was a certain 
locale to get around force-locale issues), it still stubbornly remains 
in English. Given how few people know how to use Custom Locale, it 
really should have a manual language selection option, otherwise we will 
loose more than half of the locales on GCompris (rough estimate) because 
manufacturers are very restrictive with locales they ship.

On a phone (HTC Desire) there are some instances of text flowing outside 
the tiles (Make the ball go to | Tux), (Double click on the | mouse) 
etc. Given what usually happens in l10n, the tiles should be dynamic in 
terms of height or the pic smaller, adding up to 3 lines of text

Michael
