[Xerte-dev] Re: XOT Workshop in Venezuela

[Jose Diaz]

Hey Julian! ... this sounds very good!

XOT project has been accepted because it allow's teachers to create learning content easily.

However, the translation to spanish is critical because in english in latin america is not a default language.

I would like to understand better how xertetrans works to be able to help.

I'm sure if we are able to translate XOT to spanish, it will be very used by teachers community. Of course, it will help to add XOT as a topic of local events.

Take care.

José.

Asunto: RE: [Xerte-dev] XOT Workshop in Venezuela
 

I didn’t realise you were in Venezuela: I visited Caracas a few years ago, really enjoyed it. Merida in the mountains was lovely. I’ve always fancied organising a Xerte conference on the island of Tobago - which is possibly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen – maybe we should work on that!

Hi guys.
 
Next wednesday June 27, I'm going to conduct a XOT workshop to 30 people.
 
The agenda is as follows:
 
1. Setting up work environment: LAMP, MOODLE and XOT.
2. Available resources: The Community.
3. My First Project with XOT.
4. MOODLE and XOT Integration.
5. Translating to spanish XOT.
6. Change how LO looks like.
 
Today, I downloaded XOT from SVN: svn checkout http://xerteonlinetoolkits.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ xerteonlinetoolkits-read-only
 
Is this the right (stable) version of XOT to work on my workshop?
 
In the past, I asked how to translate XOT (pages to create LO) to spanish but I forgot how to use the "language" directory and enable the spanish language. By the other hand, Reijnders sent me this: link to work on the translation to spanish (guest-guest): xertetrans.xerte.org.uk

How can I enable spanish language from language folder?

Does the xertetrans link work now?

Finally, I wrote this post to change how XOT looks like: http://jgdu.blogspot.com/2011/11/xot-como-cambiar-su-apariencia.html

Is this info useful yet?

I've been seen a lot of changes last months through the mail list over XOT. 

The participants in the workshop will use XOT on their institutions (universities and schools). So I think its a good opportunity to show XOT capabilities and push the use in latin american people.

Thanks a lot.

José.
