[Tux4kids-tuxtype-dev] Working on the Chinese version of tuxtype

Hi Frederic,

The directory structure in svn became kind of strange as a result of
some work to merge common code into a "t4k-common" library.  The main
trunk of tuxtype is tux4kids/tuxtype/trunk (and tuxmath is
tux4kids/tuxmath/trunk).  The current tuxtype po template file is
tux4kids/tuxtype/trunk/po/tuxtype.pot in the svn repository.

I think that is because (as of 1.8.0), tuxtype always starts in
English, rather than the system locale.  We don't yet have code in
place to set the theme to match the locale, so tuxtype starts in
English and sets the locale to whatever is desired when the user
selects a theme.

I need to go to a meeting right now - be back later - there are more
things that need to be brought up.

Thanks,

David Bruce
