How to add sounds in your language to TuxPaint stamps

March 2011

There are more than 50 English sound descriptions for TuxPaint stamps, mostly animals. Below is what you must do to add sounds, in your language, to TuxPaint stamps.

  1. Archive English sound descriptions are located at subdirectories of /usr/share/tuxpaint/stamps (their names end with _desc.ogg, say gander_desc.ogg)
  2. Unpack the resulting archive without saving full path (so you get a full list and know what to record)
  3. Record corresponding sound descriptions in your language
  4. Arrange each description as a separate OGG file (32 kbps, 1 channel, 44,1 kHz) [1]
  5. Name it as ***_desc_xx.ogg where *** is an appropriate English name for the sound and xx is two-letter name of your language (so resulting file would be gander_desc_ru.ogg)
  6. Create /stamps directory structure at your PC. Just unpack archive with English sound descriptions, then search for *.ogg files at /stamps directory including subdirectories and delete all files found [2].
  7. Put resulting files in appropriate directories and archive /stamps directory and subdirectories
  8. Send archive to Jean-Michel

Note that except English there are sounds for ca, fr and nl.

Possibly some sound descriptions already exist in your language, then the procedure will be a bit different.

  1. Archive sound descriptions in your language located at subdirectories of /usr/share/tuxpaint/stamps/animals (its names contain _desc_xx.ogg, say gander_desc_it.ogg)
  2. Archive English sound descriptions located at subdirectories of /usr/share/tuxpaint/stamps/animals (its names contain _desc.ogg, say gander_desc.ogg)
  3. Unpack and compare these archives to find out which sound descriptions in your language are missing
  4. Go to step 3 of previous scenario

Footnotes

[1] Each sound file should have at least 1,5 seconds length; otherwise, a sound might not be heard

[2] If it’s too sophisticated for you feel free to contact us and we will provide you with empty archive with /stamps directory structure
