Fwd: KTurtle translation ---where to begin?

[Anne-Marie Mahfouf]

Hi people,

I got this message from a Danish user wanting to use KTurtle in Danish.
In KDE 4, the commands are translated in the kturtle.po file so if the user 
has installed the Danish language, KTurtle should allow to choose Danish as 
script language (kturtle.po is 100% translated in Danish). But it does not (as 
far as I tested on my devel environment).

Anyone who knows KTurtle can give me hint on what we're doing wrong? Or is it 
a bug (if so, a big one)

Thanks in advance,

Anne-Marie

Dear Karl and Anne-Marie,

I see you are both involved in the translation and development of Kturtle.
I think this little program could become extremely relevant, especially for my 
son who has ASD. And also, this using a logo-like language what was brought me 
into programming back in the day.

However, I am having trouble making the localized version work. I use the 
win32 version of KDE, with my native language (da) installed. It turns up in 
the choice of script languages, but: I am unable to find the da-language 
reference. Also, all the commands I am trying to guess (in da) are not 
recognized.

I also tried to pull the source from git (git clone 
git://anongit.kde.org/kturtle)
But I am guessing it has to be compiled in conjunction with a bigger project, 
as there was no ./configure script present in what I pulled from git.


1)      I am clearly doing something wrong with respect to finding the da-
script language reference and in compiling Kturtle. Could you be as kind as 
giving a noob a few pointers, here?

2)      Do you need any help to get the da-version documented/tested/etc?
