==Localization==
<b>Sections</b>:
The whole Technical operations can be divided into 5 sections.
*Deployment teams section
This section's responsibility is deployment of OLPC laptops to schools with all related logistics and actions.
*Dispatch center section
Dispatch center takes over the laptops from Ministry of Education, makes sure they are operational and uploads them with all activities (programs) specified.
*Technical trainers section
Technical trainers are responsible for education of teachers and at the beginning of the project also for education of Technical operations staff.
*User service team section
User service teams provides support for teachers and schools what OLPC laptops concern – troubleshooting, documentation creation, development of new activities (programs).
This team will closely cooperate with Ministry of Education on development of new content and activities for OLPC already deployed where MoE will provide the Curricular specifications and content and User service team developers will create the programming part.
*Localization team section
Localization team is responsible for translating the current activities into Dari and Pashto. This activity will take place at the very beginning of OPLC project.


Afghanistan has 34 provinces and 6 to 8 commonly spoken languages with more than 36 Languages in total. The language with the largest number of speakers is Dari (Farsi) and Pashto. Both languages are official languages of the country, mainly used for educational, business and governmental purposes.
==Job descriptions of each position==
Following are concrete job descriptions of each position within Technical operations.


All XO laptops will be localized into both languages. Localization takes place during first two months of the project deployment, using volunteers translations from Pootle and employing two professional linguists to translate untranslated parts and review current translations.

With OLPC Pilot approaching, there are still a lot of strings to be translated ([https://dev.laptop.org/translate/ps/ status]). We would like to ask all volunteers interested to continue the great job in translation, new ones to join the localization team, get together, roll up sleeves, get some snacks n drinks ready and have a Translation Nite-out!
==Lets Explore XO==
ONE LAPTOP PER CHILD, That’s our name and our vision. We want to create education opportunities for the world poorest children. By providing each and everyone for the rapid, low cost, low power connected laptop.


== Translation HowTo ==
"XO" a computer unlike the any other, designed specifically to work in tough conditions and remote areas. It comes packed with software inductivities to help kids learn, explore, create and share. No matter what language they speak or where they live, the XO connects them to each other to the world and to a brighter future.
A web based [http://dev.laptop.org/translate Portal translation engine] has been used as primary translation mechanism. But you are free to download PO files and translate it using [http://gtranslator.sourceforge.net/ GTranslator] or any of your own favourite text editor.
We are non-profit organization, which makes these kids our mission, not our market. That’s why that, wherever the XO goes, there are five core principles, everyone agrees to:
#First kids get to keep the laptops, they have to be free to take them home and use them whenever they want. That’s a kind of point.
#We are focused on the early education, which means kids about 6 to 12 years old.
#We have to deal in large numbers of laptops, so whole the classrooms and schools get them at the same time. So no-one gets left away.
#Kids should have a connection to the internet, because there are neat stuff to learn on the internet
#Finally, the XO must include free and open source software. Then the laptop itself can easily grow and adapt with the needs of the child.


Translation HowTo specific to the OLPC XO can be found [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Translating/HowTo here]. Translation Guidelines for Pashto language can be found [[Translation Guidelines|here]].
So in the nut shell, that’s us.
An organization that makes a small computer to serve a big cause. Bringing education to the children all over the world with ONE LAPTOP PER CHILD.


To download po file and translate it in your computer (faster way), follow these steps:
**<u>The real question is, WHY?</u>
<b>Why give a laptop to a child who may have no electricity or even running water?</b>
That’s a very good question.
But, if you substitute the world <b>a laptop</b> with <b>education</b>, the answer becomes clear.
You don’t stop education, until all other challenges are solved. You do them at the same time, because education is the foundation of the other solutions.
That’s why we designed the XO to work in the places that needed it the most.
*Rapid, because these are kids after all, and kids stand to be, well, KIDS.
*Low cost, so we can make a lot of them for very little, low power. So even in places with no electricity, it can be charged with alternate sources like solar power.
*Connected, so kids can access the internet, share files with each other and collaborate on projects.
*The XO also has a screen; you can read in direct sun light. Because many of the children go the schools at doors.
*The XO comes with a built-in web-cam for pictures and video clips on the tone of education focused software.


# Go to http://dev.laptop.org/translate
All these features and many many more add up to one incredible result. When the XO comes to a classroom or village, kids get engaged, inspired, they go to school more after and stay there longer. They draw pictures, play music, make movies, and write stories. They figure out, how to do new things and begin to teach each other and even the parents. With the XO, kids learn to solve their own challenges and one day, they might even help us solve ours.
# Create an account
*-That’s how will change the world and that’s the best answer to; WHY GIVE A LAPTOP?
# Log in and choose Dari or Pashto
*-<i>So give a laptop, Change the world.</i>
# Click a package (XO Core, XO Bundle, etc)
# Click 'Zip of Folder' link at the top of the page.
# Translate it and upload it back in the same page.


== What should We translate ==
Here are two slideshows about the introduction to OLPC XO's in English and Dari.

This is the OLD wiki for the OLPC Afghanistan. To view the new wiki page of One Laptop Per Child project in Afghanistan go to this new link

  • The mission of this Not for Profit Organization is to create an environment for OLPC, take necessary steps to ensure every child in Afghanistan get the laptop and develop the Local Activities for OLPC laptops that could revolutionize how we educate our children. The goal is to provide every child in Afghanistan with new opportunities to explore, experiment, and express themselves in a collaborative way.

Afghanistan is a very famous for being a multicultural country. Participation of the OLPC project in Afghanistan will not only revolutionize the way we teach children, the vision behind this "educational" project, but also scale up the eco-system of sharing between the diverse set of communities existing in the central Asian countries.

OLPC Afghanistan

The Ministry of Education, Ministry of Communications and IT, USAID Afghanistan Small and Medium Enterprise Development (ASMED), Roshan and PAIWASTOON are working together to improve education and bring new opportunities for economic development through low cost computing and computer literacy for the Afghanistan's future workforce.

First 5800 localized XO laptops with Dari and Pashto content will be deployed to 283 schools in form of computer labs, with 21 computers in each school. These 5800 laptops shall reach over 85,000 children across Afghanistan.

1st deployment (pilot) will take place in the following provinces:

  • Baghlan (20 schools)
  • Herat (25 schools)
  • Ningarhar (25 schools)
  • Kabul (188 schools)
  • Balkh (25 schools)


OLPC technical implementation team started working on 19th of November 2008. We are now in the process of finalizing localization of laptop into Dari and Pashto, preparing training materials for teacher trainings, do some power testing experiments and much more! First laptops shall be deployed during December time into Ningarhar province and after winter holidays we will continue with other provinces.


For detailed info about OLPC Afghanistan, please visit official OLPC Afghanistan Website.

You can also join the OLPC Afghanistan volunteer team.

Localization

Afghanistan has 34 provinces and 6 to 8 commonly spoken languages with more than 36 Languages in total. The language with the largest number of speakers is Dari (Farsi) and Pashto. Both languages are official languages of the country, mainly used for educational, business and governmental purposes.

All XO laptops will be localized into both languages. Localization takes place during first two months of the project deployment, using volunteers translations from Pootle and employing two professional linguists to translate untranslated parts and review current translations.

With OLPC Pilot approaching, there are still a lot of strings to be translated (status). We would like to ask all volunteers interested to continue the great job in translation, new ones to join the localization team, get together, roll up sleeves, get some snacks n drinks ready and have a Translation Nite-out!

Translation HowTo

A web based Portal translation engine has been used as primary translation mechanism. But you are free to download PO files and translate it using GTranslator or any of your own favourite text editor.

Translation HowTo specific to the OLPC XO can be found here. Translation Guidelines for Pashto language can be found here.

To download po file and translate it in your computer (faster way), follow these steps:

  1. Go to http://dev.laptop.org/translate
  2. Create an account
  3. Log in and choose Dari or Pashto
  4. Click a package (XO Core, XO Bundle, etc)
