To figure out how to make BluePad friendly to GNOME localisation, you
can see other pyGTK projects and compare the code.
Examples include
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gimmie/trunk/
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/accerciser/trunk/

BluePad is really cool. If you think you can manage the effort to get it
GNOME-friendly, it could be added to http://l10n.gnome.org/module/
This would also require to move the source to GNOME SVN.

Hope this helps,
