Tux Paint is a drawing program for children ages 3 to 12. It combines an easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who guides children as they use the program. Children are presented with a blank canvas and a variety of drawing tools to help them be creative. It runs on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux and other platforms.

The Tux Paint documentation is fairly extensive and you can figure out fairly easily what a term means, or how to possibly translate it. A good idea is to download the documentation, and to use a search program or an indexing tool to quickly search through it.

TuxPaint's POT files may not contain comments required to make Pootle's suggestion feature work, therefore we shall alter these POT files prior to making available to translators. The altered POT files will not affect merging translations back into Tux Paint.
