<chapter id="introduction">
<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>

<chapter id="using-klettres">
<title>Using &klettres;</title>
<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>

<para>Level is Level 1, language is French, theme is desert
and mode is <emphasis>grown-up</emphasis>.</para>
<note>
<para>
If your &kde; language is set to Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, Italian,
Luganda, Romanized Hindi, Spanish, Slovak or German, then this will be the default 
language the first time you run &klettres;. For other languages, French is the default. 
&klettres; comes with French and your default language if among those listed above 
and you can get additional languages via <guimenu>File</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Get Alphabet 
in New Language...</guimenuitem> provided you have an Internet connection.
</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>
</note>

<para>
After the first time, the language setting is saved in a configuration file
on closing of &klettres; and loaded the next time, with the level you were in.
</para>
<para>The mode (kid or grown-up) is saved in the config file and therefore
is kept until you change.</para>
<para>The letters appear in random order. They are not the same consecutively. </para>

three, it depends of the language.</para>

You can easily change the font that displays the letters. In some distribution, the default font used from the system is really ugly.

The new font will be applied to both the displayed letter/syllable and the user field.
</para>

<warning>
<para>
Changing font is also nice as some fonts (Helvetica for example) do not display correctly East-European languages as Czech and Slovak. If some letters or syllables are not displayed, please change the font and choose Arial for example.

<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.   
</para>

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>
