    "faq.requirementsTitle":"What are the system requirements for Scratch?",
    "faq.requirementsBody":"To run Scratch 2.0, you need to be using (1) a Windows, ChromeOS, Mac, or Linux computer; (2) a version of <a href=\"https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/\">Adobe Flash Player</a> released on or after June 15, 2016; (3) a relatively recent web browser: one of the latest two versions of <a href=\"http://google.com/chrome/\">Chrome</a> (Windows, ChromeOS, Mac or Linux), <a href=\"http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/\">Firefox</a> (Windows or Mac only), <a href=\"https://support.apple.com/downloads/safari\">Safari</a> (Mac only), <a href=\"https://www.microsoft.com/windows/microsoft-edge\">Edge</a> (Windows only), or <a href=\"https://www.microsoft.com/download/internet-explorer.aspx\">Internet Explorer 11</a> (Windows only). If your computer doesn’t meet these requirements, you can try downloading and installing <a href=\"/scratch_1.4\">Scratch 1.4</a>, which you can still use to share projects to the Scratch 2.0 website.",
    "faq.offlineTitle":"Do you have a downloadable version so I can create and view projects offline?",
    "faq.offlineBody":"The Scratch 2.0 offline editor allows you to create Scratch projects without an internet connection. You can <a href=\"/scratch2download/\">download Scratch 2.0</a> from the website. You can also still use <a href=\"/scratch_1.4\">Scratch 1.4</a>. Note: You can have both Scratch 1.4 and 2.0 on your computer.",
    "faq.uploadOldTitle":"Can I still upload projects created with older versions of Scratch to the website?",
    "faq.uploadOldBody":"Yes - you can share or upload projects made with earlier versions of Scratch, and they will be visible and playable. (However, you can’t download projects made with or edited in later versions of Scratch and open them in earlier versions. For example, you can’t open a Scratch 2.0 project in <a href=\"/scratch_1.4\">Scratch 1.4</a>, because <a href=\"/scratch_1.4\">Scratch 1.4</a> doesn’t know how to read the .sb2 project file format.)",
    "faq.recordVideoTitle":"Can I record a video of my Scratch project?",
    "faq.recordVideoBody":"Yes, you can record a video of your Scratch project up to 60 seconds. In the Scratch editor, from the File menu, select \"Record Project Video.\" (You need to be signed in to see this option.) You can choose additional recording options (such as recording sound and mouse clicks) through the \"More Options\" menu. Then, run your project however you'd like. Once the recording is done, follow the instructions to download the file to your computer. Depending on what kind of computer you have, you may need to download another program like the <a href=\"http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html\">VLC Media Player</a> to play the file. This file will run on YouTube, Vimeo, and Facebook, but may need to be converted for other websites like Twitter or Tumblr.",
    "faq.scratchCostTitle":"How much does Scratch cost? Do I need a license?",
    "faq.scratchCostBody":"Scratch is and always will be free. You don’t need a license to use Scratch in your school, home, or anywhere else.

    "faq.accountInfoTitle":"What information do you ask for during account registration?",
    "faq.accountInfoList":"To protect the privacy of our community members, we limit what we collect and what we publish on the website. During the registration process, we ask for the following information:",
    "faq.privacyUsername":"username - We ask that users avoid using their real names or other identifying information.",

    "faq.privacyGender":"gender",
    "faq.privacyEmail":"contact email address - If the account holder is younger than 13, we ask for the email address of their parent or guardian. We do not send email to this address except when someone requests to have the account password reset.",
    "faq.accountPublicInfo":"The username and country of the account holder are displayed publicly on their profile page. The birth month / year, email address, and gender associated with the account are not displayed publicly. We collect this info so we can know the age and gender of our users in aggregate, and for research purposes. We do not sell or rent information about our users to anyone.",
    "faq.dataCollectionTitle":"What data is collected from people while they use the website?",
    "faq.dataCollectionOne":"When a user logs in, the Scratch website asks their browser to put an <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie\">http cookie</a> on their computer in order to remember that they are logged in while they browse different pages. We collect some data on where users click and which parts of the site they visit using Google Analytics. This \"click data\" helps us figure out ways to improve the website.",
    "faq.dataCollectionTwo":"Some of the information and data collected on the Scratch website are used in research studies intended to improve our understanding of how people learn with Scratch.

    "faq.remixDefinitionTitle":"What is a remix?",
    "faq.remixDefinitionBody":"When a Scratcher makes a copy of someone else’s project and modifies it to add their own ideas (for example, by changing scripts or costumes), the resulting project is called a \"remix\". Every project shared to the Scratch website can be remixed. We consider even a minor change to be a valid remix, as long as credit is given to the original project creator and others who made significant contributions to the remix.",
    "faq.remixableTitle":"Why does the Scratch Team require that all projects be “remixable”?",
    "faq.remixableBody":"We believe that viewing and remixing interesting projects is a great way to learn to program, and leads to cool new ideas. That’s why the source code is visible for every project shared to the Scratch website.",
    "faq.creativeCommonsTitle":"What if I don’t want others to remix my projects?",
    "faq.creativeCommonsBody":"By publishing your project on the Scratch website, you agree to license it under a <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/deed.en\">Creative Commons Share Alike</a> license. If you don’t want others to view and remix your creations, don’t share them on the Scratch website.",
    "faq.fairUseTitle":"Can I use images / sounds / media from the internet in my projects?",
    "faq.fairUseBody":"It's important to respect the original creator’s wishes regarding remixing. If you choose to integrate someone else’s work into your own, be sure to give them credit on the project “credits” section, and include a link back to the original. To find art / sounds that are already licensed for remixing, check out the <a href=\"http://search.creativecommons.org/\">Creative Commons search page</a>.",
    "faq.confirmedAccountTitle":"What is a “confirmed” Scratch account?",
    "faq.confirmedAccountBody":"A confirmed account on Scratch lets you share projects, write comments, and create studios. Confirming your account also lets you receive email updates from the Scratch Team.",
    "faq.checkConfirmedTitle":"How can I check whether my account has been confirmed?",
    "faq.checkConfirmedBody":"To check whether your account is confirmed, you must first log into your Scratch account in the top right of the screen. Once logged in, click on your username in the top right and select \"Account Settings\", then \"Email\" on the left hand side. Confirmed email addresses will show a small green checkmark. Otherwise, you will see the text \"Your email address is unconfirmed\" in orange.",
    "faq.howToConfirmTitle":"How do I confirm my account?",
    "faq.howToConfirmBody":"After registering for Scratch, you will receive an email with a link to confirm your account. If you cannot find the email, check your Spam folder. To resend the email, go to your Account Settings, click the Email tab, and follow the instructions there. Please note that it may take up to an hour for the email to arrive. If you still don't see the email after an hour, <a href=\"/contact-us\">let us know</a>.",
    "faq.requireConfirmTitle":"Do I have to confirm my account?",
    "faq.requireConfirmBody":"You can still use many aspects of Scratch without confirming your account, including creating and saving projects (without sharing them). Note: If you created an account before February 11, 2015, then you can still use social features on Scratch without confirming your account.",
    "faq.forgotPasswordTitle":"I forgot my password. How can I reset it?",
    "faq.forgotPasswordBody":"Enter your account name on the <a href=\"/accounts/password_reset/\">password reset page</a>. The website will send an email to the address associated with the account containing a link you can use to reset your password.",
    "faq.changePasswordTitle":"How do I change my password?",

(Note that we don't promote New Scratchers to Scratcher on request - even when bribed with fancy chocolates.)",
    "faq.multipleAccountTitle":"Can I have more than one account?",
    "faq.multipleAccountBody":"It's fine to have a few accounts on the Scratch website, as long as none of them are used to break the Community Guidelines. In that case, all related accounts may be blocked or deleted.",
    "faq.multipleLoginTitle":"Is it OK to have more than one person logged into an account?",
    "faq.multipleLoginBody":"This is discouraged, because the website and project editor can easily get confused when more than one person is logged into the same account.",
    "faq.changeUsernameTitle":"Can I change my username?",
    "faq.changeUsernameBody":"The structure of the Scratch website depends on having a consistent account name, so it’s not possible to change your username. If you really need to, you can make a new account - but you'll have to copy your projects over on your own.",
    "faq.shareInfoTitle":"What information can I share on / with my account?",
    "faq.shareInfoBody":"Please don’t share personal contact information, such as your physical address, email, phone number, or anything else that can be used to make contact outside of the Scratch website.

    "faq.noFlameTitle":"What do I do if I see someone being mean or disrespectful?",
    "faq.noFlameBody":"Don’t add to the flames! Responding to mean comments with more mean comments just makes things worse, and could result in your account being blocked. Instead, simply report anything that is disrespectful or unconstructive, and we’ll follow up with the author. We check reports every day, multiple times per day - so rest assured, we'll sort things out.",
    "faq.reviewContentTitle":"What does the Scratch team do when something is reported or flagged?",
    "faq.reviewContentBody":"The Scratch Team reviews reported comments and projects every day.

    "faq.blockedAccountTitle":"What happens when an account is blocked?",
    "faq.blockedAccountBody":"When an account is blocked, the owner can no longer access it, or use it to create projects or comments. When they login, they see a page that explains why the account was blocked with a web form they can use to request to be unblocked. If the owner can show that they understand why their account was blocked, and promises to follow the community guidelines in the future, the  Scratch Team will review their case. Accounts will only be unblocked in cases where the account owner’s word can be trusted. Otherwise, the account (and most likely other accounts owned or created by that person) may be blocked permanently.",
    "faq.stolenAccountTitle":"My mean brother / Kaj / some other bad guy stole my account and got it banned, what do I do?",
    "faq.stolenAccountBody":"You are responsible for keeping your password secure. If someone in real life takes control of your account and does bad stuff, tell the adults in charge of the computers. If you think someone you don’t know got access to your account, change the password and / or use the contact us link to explain the situation.

    "faq.storedCloudInfoTitle":"Who can see the data stored in cloud data?",
    "faq.storedCloudInfoBody":"When you interact with a project using cloud data blocks, your information can be stored along with your username, and others can view it. Each project keeps a log of who interacted with it and any data they shared.",
    "faq.onlyNumbersTitle":"Why is cloud data currently limited to only numbers -- with no strings or lists?",
    "faq.onlyNumbersBody":"The current site is limited to numbers in variables as an initial step to work out any issues with their use on the site. We plan to roll out cloud data features incrementally. If the infrastructure is working well, we plan to add other features (cloud lists, support for strings, etc.).",

    "faq.newScratcherCloudBody":"You need to have become a \"Scratcher\" on the website to have access to cloud data. You can become a Scratcher through actively participating on the website.",
    "faq.multiplayerTitle":"Is it possible to make multiplayer games with cloud data?",
    "faq.multiplayerBody":"Multiplayer games may be difficult to create, due to network speed and synchronization issues. However, some Scratchers are coming up with creative ways to use the cloud data for turn-by-turn and other games.",
    "faq.cloudLagTitle":"How long does it take for cloud data to reach another Scratcher?",
    "faq.cloudLagBody":"It depends. If both Scratchers have a reasonably fast Internet connection (DSL/Cable), and there are no restrictive firewalls on the computers/network, updates should be transmitted in milliseconds. However, a lot of computers have firewall software running in them, and if the firewall software blocks outgoing connections to TCP port 531 and TCP port 843, the time-lag becomes one-second. We are currently trying to figure out ways in which we can work around this limitation.",

    "faq.dataTitle":"What data does Scratch collect about students?",
    "faq.dataBody":"When a student first signs up on Scratch, we ask for basic demographic data including gender, age (birth month and year), country, and an email address for verification. This data is used (in aggregated form) in research studies intended to improve our understanding of how people learn with Scratch. When an educator uses a Scratch Teacher Account to create student accounts in bulk, students are not required to provide an email address for account setup.",
    "faq.lawComplianceTitle":"Is Scratch 2.0 (online version) compliant with United States local and federal data privacy laws?",
