+&klettres; is an application specially designed to do help the user

+The user can be a young child aged from two and a half or an adult that wants to learn
+the basics of a foreign language. </para>
+<para>
+Eleven languages are available at the moment: Czech, Danish, Dutch, English,
+French, Italian, Luganda, Romanized Hindi, Spanish, Slovak and German but only

+&klettres; is really easy to use. The language can be changed using the
+<guimenu>Language</guimenu> menu. The user can also choose the Level from
+1 to 4 in a combo box in the toolbar or via the <guimenu>Level</guimenu>
+menu. <guimenuitem>Themes</guimenuitem> (background and font color) can be
+changed in a combo box or in the <menuchoice><guimenu>Look</guimenu>

+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>&klettres; is a very simple application that helps a child or an
+adult to learn the alphabet and some simple sounds in his own language
+or in another language. The program picks up a letter or a syllable
+in random, this letter/syllable is displayed and the sound is played.
+The user should then type this letter or syllable. Training is done in
+the levels where the letter/syllable is not displayed, only the sound
+is played. The user does not need to know how to use the mouse, the
+keyboard only is needed.</para>
+
+<para>There are eleven languages available at the moment: Czech, Danish, Dutch,
+English, French, Italian, Luganda, Romanized Hindi, Spanish, Slovak and German. If your
+&kde; language is Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, Italian, Luganda, Romanized Hindi, Spanish,
+Slovak or German, then your language is taken as default, otherwise French is the default.
+You can easily get any additional available language by using the
+<guimenu>File</guimenu> menu and <guimenuitem>Get Alphabet in New
+Language...</guimenuitem> menu item, provided that your computer is connected to
+the Internet.</para>
+
+<note><para>&klettres; needs &arts; running for the sound</para></note>
+
+<para>Two different modes allow you to adapt &klettres; to
+your need and have the full usual interface or a stripped interface. For a
+child, the menubar is no longer
+visible. We assume that a child will not want to set the language
+himself. A combo box allows him to choose the different levels. For an
+older user, the background is not so childish and the menubar is
+present in the Grown-Up style. Three different themes
+(<guimenuitem>Classroom</guimenuitem>,
+<guimenuitem>Arctic</guimenuitem> and
+<guimenuitem>Desert</guimenuitem>) set up a different background with
+different fonts.</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>You do not need the language keyboard layout anymore as you can use the
+special <guimenuitem>Characters</guimenuitem> toolbar to type any special
+character in each language. In the <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu,
+<guimenuitem>Toolbars</guimenuitem>, select <guimenuitem>Characters</guimenuitem>
+and the toolbar will appear at the bottom of &klettres;. Click on the letter
+you want and it will be shown in the input field. This toolbar can be dragged
+anywhere on your screen.</para>
+<para>
+If you prefer having the language keyboard layout, please use &kcontrolcenter;, in the
+section <guimenu>Regional &amp; Accessibility</guimenu> and submenu
+<guimenuitem>Keyboard Layout</guimenuitem> in order to set the correct keyboard layout.</para>

+<para>&klettres; has 4 levels. Levels 1 and 2 deal with the alphabet and
+levels 3 and 4 concern syllables. For a very young child (2 1/2 to 4), I would
+suggest that he/she is sitting on your lap in front of the computer and
+that you do the game together.</para>

+If your &kde; language is set to Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, Italian,

+</para>
+</note>
+<para>
+In level 1, the user sees the letter and hears the sound. He then has to type in
+the letter in the box. If it is correct, the next letter appears (without having
+to press <keycap>Enter</keycap> or whatever). If the user types the wrong letter,
+he hears the sound again. In this level, the user memorizes the letters, associates
+them with their sound and recognizes them on the keyboard.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>The user can type in either lower or uppercase letters. The letters are
+automatically put in uppercase so that a child will match them with the keyboard.
+He can type only one letter at atime.</para>
+<para>When you type a letter in the input field, there is no need to press
+<keycap>Enter</keycap> and the program waits for a short while before testing if
+the letter is right. This short wait is to leave time to a young child to understand
+what he/she just typed, especially if this is the wrong letter. You can change this
+time by using the <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu, <guimenuitem>Configure &klettres;...</guimenuitem>
+and the <guilabel>Timer</guilabel> page which will bring you a dialog where you can
+set two different times: one for the <guilabel>Kid Mode</guilabel> and one for the
+<guilabel>Grown-up Mode</guilabel>.
+</para>

+After the first time, the language setting is saved in a configuration file

+<title>Adding Sounds to &klettres;</title>
+
+<para>
+If you would like to add sounds in your own language, it is very easy to do so. Record the alphabet sounds and place them in a folder named 'alpha'. Then record the most current syllables and put them in a folder named 'syllab'.</para>
+<para>Create a text file <filename>sounds.xml</filename>, preferably using &kate; as editor or another editor capable of different encoding. In this file, write all the alphabet sounds and syllable sounds you recorded, like this example for the czech language:</para>
+<programlisting>&lt;klettres&gt;
+&lt;language code="cs"&gt;
+ &lt;menuitem&gt;
+ &lt;label&gt;&amp;Czech&lt;/label&gt;
+ &lt;/menuitem&gt;
+ &lt;alphabet&gt;
+ &lt;sound name="A" file="cs/alpha/a.ogg" /&gt;
+ ...
+ &lt;/alphabet&gt;
+ &lt;syllables&gt;
+ &lt;sound name="BA" file="cs/syllab/ba.ogg" /&gt;
+ ...
+ &lt;/syllables&gt;
+ &lt;/language&gt;
+&lt;/klettres&gt;</programlisting>
+<para>Replace "cs" with the two letter code and "Czech" with the name of your language. Write the sound names with the special characters of your language in uppercase in utf8.</para>
+
+<para>Additionally you can tell me about special letters in your language so I can easily generate the special <guimenuitem>Characters</guimenuitem> toolbar. Create a text file <filename>cs.txt</filename> (replace "cs" with the two letter code of your language) with each special character of your language in uppercase on one line.
+And save both text files with <quote>utf8</quote> encoding (upper right dropbox in &kate; allows that)</para>
+
+<para>The sounds should be in wav or ogg format and long enough for KAudioPlayer to play them (between 1.5 and 2 seconds long, please add some silence if they are too short). Then make a tarball of all that and send it to me.

+<question>
+<para>Why are there only ten languages?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>In order for me to add a new language, I need the sounds
+for the alphabet and some basic syllables. Someone speaking natively
+the new language must record these sounds in wav, mp3 or preferably, ogg format. For levels 3
+and 4, the syllables must be chosen by a teacher or someone who knows how children learn: these must be the
+syllables you have to learn just after the alphabet in order to learn
+well the basics of this language. Please send me a mail if you are
+able to do that. See <ulink url="http://edu.kde.org/klettres/add_language.php">the &klettres; website</ulink> for detailed instructions on how to add a new language.</para> </answer>
