Are “Grab a screen region for new sprite” and “save a picture of the stage” (used to be on the context menu for the stage in 1.4) moved somewhere else?

What does turing test mean? And how long will Scratch 2.0(beta) take to pass it?

Website:
- added language support to site - change your language via dropdown in footer (syncing language with editor is not in yet)
- enabled admin and comment tabs on /messages page
- redirect old site gallery urls /galleries/view/#### to /studios/####/
- fixed cut off comment and favorite icons on /messages page
- fixed image styles on /news to allow for more images
- fixed broken time stamps on “What I've Been Doing” section on /profile page
- fixed html in <title></title> appearing in window titlebar

Paint Editor:
- top button row and bottom area now adapt to size changes
- paint editor now fits on a 1024-wide screen (without shrinking the stage)
- gradient on brightness slider
- costume center button now in top row (next to flip buttons)
- displays two color swatches (that swap when clicked)
- background checker-board pattern now has smaller squares, like in Scratch 1.4 (requested by a user)
- bug: large imported costumes were not being centered correctly (“oreo cookie” bug)

Forums:
- Changed url to /discuss (and updated names on interface)
- Fix for the open / close forum buttons floating left instead of right
(Introduced by a CSS change by ST. Might need to clear cache or hit ctrl-shift-r to see this fix.)
Thanks nxIII!

And lots more little fixes to all of the above sections, too small / numerous to mention…
I've found a problem with the languages, when selecting Arabic from the list. The whole website goes funny:
Example 1
Example 2
This also happens in Persian

Yay for scratch 2.0! Too bad though that there are no Scratch Day events in my country this year… yet

I have 1 question and 1 bug to report about languages: (I did read that you only started translating, but I thought I should mention it anyway)

Question #1
What is the admin tab in the messages?

Bug
When creating a new sprite, on the side of the buttons there is the text “ New Sprite: ”
In some languages (more then one) there is a colon TWO times, like this: “New Sprite:: ” but in the language.
Two examples of where this happens is Romanian and Hebrew, but it also happens in other languages.

That's about it! Thanks for taking your time to read this.

Hmm, I don't like how it's /discuss now. Can you at least keep /forums and redirect to /discuss? We're all used to /forums, and I personally have some /forums bookmarks that I don't want to change. Also, Safari autofills /forums for me, and it'll take forever for it to learn that it's /discuss.

In the next update, can you make it possible to turn auto-save on and off? Sometimes I mess something up and it saves the messed up project.

If you realize that you've messed up, you can get back to the way the project was when you started editing it by using the “Revert” command in the “File” menu. The result is similar to closing a Scratch 1.4 project without saving your changes, then opening it again.

Does that help?

Of course! There are lots of cool games you can make with those.

Closing this thread since there are new updates.
