Well, not exactly…my Samba<\/a> skills are what you’d expect from a midwesterner who lived in Brazil for a year, passable at best. In between e-mails, setting up some awesome sales, working with our localization team, and discussing current projects with my favorite co-workers ever, I’ve been slowly doing some localization work.<\/p>\n

Without giving an exact date, as this would violate my “no aging policy”<\/a>, several years ago I was an exchange student in Brazil. How long ago? Picture the other students wearing “No Fear!” shirts and listening to the Macarena on the radio.<\/p>\n

When I left Minnesota, I knew how to say, “Hello,” “Goodbye” and “I’m thirsty.” in Portuguese. After a year in Gloria de Dourados, through the help of my brilliant host mom and several other friends, I had achieved a fairly high level of fluency while completing all my coursework, learning to dance, and eating some delicious rice and bean concoctions.<\/p>\n

Translating Audiobook Builder into Portuguese has proven to be an interesting challenge, exposing me to Interface Builder<\/a> (which I had never even opened prior to this project) as well as bringing to light the intricacies of Portuguese that I have yet to master. I finished the localization (to the best of my ability) last week. Keith is helping me with the formatting, as that is a whole other learning experience that I am not yet prepared to embark upon (Thanks, Keith!!).<\/p>\n

The Portuguese version of Audiobook Builder will be released with the next update of Audiobook Builder \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
