Thread:User talk:Jonbg/Thanks from Blockly!/reply

I have an interest in localizing programming environments for kids/beginners, which I then introduce to my students (and 7 grandchildren)! I have translated Kodu Game Lab and Small Basic from Microsoft (and been a part of the Microsoft Office and Windows translation teams). Blockly seems to be an interesting addition.

Reason I am writing is that I had an issue today: I had saved about 35% of the Icelandic translation of Blockly, then continued today and was up to 80% when the translatewiki environment let me down in a big way. None of my translations today was saved!

It seems that because I had left the page open all night I lost my login, yet the page seemed to accept and save each translation (I could go back to earlier translations). At the start I was wondering if I might have been logged out, but since I could save each translation I assumed I was still logged in.

At the end of my session I clicked one of the tabs at the top and up popped a rather vague message that I had some unsaved translations. I checked and saw the translation box was open and assumed that was causing the popup. So I OK'ed the popup. When I checked back all my day's work was gone :o( . Foul! Anyway, sadder but wiser I will try to finish the translation another day. By the way, is it possible to translate the help pages / documentation as well?
