Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Re: LAMS Internationalization Update

The update for the translations has taken place now.

However, I'm very sorry to say that today (Thursday), the translator's server will incomplete. Only the four tools will show -all the new ones though: Assessment, Mindmap, Pixlr and VideoRecorder

Unfortunately, we were doing some development today and we managed to change something accidentally that prevents the other tools to get created. We will fix this first thing in the morning tomorrow.

Very sorry about this. I'll let you know tomorrow morning as soon as this is fixed.

Thanks for your patience.

The problem from yesterday has been fixed now. So all tools are displaying properly.

In this update, you can see quite a few cool things:

1.- The Gradebook
2.- Mindmap tool (now it hs zoom controls)
3.- Video Recorder (try export portfolio)
4.- Assessment (if you have a test that you always do, give t a go and see how you can do it with this new tool)

Any feedback, as usual is welcome.

Next update to be completed on Monday!

Thanks,

Ernie

The translations server has now been updated with the latest labels.

Some really cool things these week:

* Drawing board: a new plugin for the FCKeditor that will allow you to paint/draw/sketch anything you like in all activities!
* Gradebook should be pretty much finished. Have a look at its documentation for further information
* Try Instant Messaging. It is just very very cool

As usual, you can do and undo as much as you like and tell us what you think.

We are now heading for a final release probably in two weeks as we are doing some really really heavy testing in a lot more platforms, documenting all installation processes and doing functional testing in each of them... This is a *lot* of work as you can see, but all for getting a very solid and robust release

LAMS 2.3 has a *lot* to test so if you want to give us a hand, use the translations test site and go thru this testing list.

Once again, thanks for your work and hopefully we get 2.3 out in two weeks!

We will be updating your server with the latest labels on Wednesday night (Europe time).

In addition, we have now added all the labels for the new Assessment tool. This is an awesome tool if you want to create tests in LAMS. Also it can be use for branching to create really powerful adaptive sequences.

One more to come shortly: Mindmap.

Thanks,

Ernie

The translations server has been updated with the latest. Additionally *all* 5 new tools for LAMS 2.3 are now available for translations. They are:

* Video Audio Recording
* Pixlr Tool
* Image gallery
* New Assessment tool
* Mindmap tool


We are doing some really heaving testing in a massive range of platforms and we are hoping to get a release in the next two weeks. So ensure that your translations are up to date as in about two weeks we will have to release the upgrader/installer and it will be best for you to have your translations included on it.

Next update will take place on Wednesday (Thursday morning for me here in Australia).

Thanks,

Ernie

OK, we have a delivery day for LAMS 2.3:

May 22nd, 2009

If everything goes according to plan, then we will release LAMS 2.3 in a week and a half! :)

That means that you need to get your translations before then.

From today onwards, I'll be upgrading your server every day so make sure you add as many labels and do tests as soon as you can.

You can check out the LAMS - LAMS Community integration (see the "Community" tab as soon as you login). If you want to import sequences directly from the LAMS Community, go to Author --> File --> Import from LAMS Community and just follow the instructions.

if you have any problems, please let me know.

Thank you,

Ernie

Your server has all the latest labels since yesterday.

We'll do this again tomorrow.

Enjoy!

Only a few labels updated today, so no updates necessary. However, if any more done before the end of Friday Europe, we rebuild it again over the weekend.

Thank you and enjoy your weekend!

LAMS 2.3 is pretty much done

If the final touches go alright in the next 24 hrs, it should be release by tomorrow (Friday!)

The final update from the translations *just* took place so it is up-to-date.

Once again, thank you very much for all your efforts and your server has the now LAMS 2.3!!

Sayonara,

Ernie

Thank you,

Ernie
