Hello
Look at this numbers:
The old spanish ddtp-status:
/------------
|Stats for es from pdesc
|descriptions 16258
|up-to-date descriptions 10468
|translated descriptions 7
|...
\------------
The new spanish ddtp-status:
/------------
|Stats for es from pdesc
|descriptions 16258
|up-to-date descriptions 10468
|translated descriptions 3484
|...
\------------
What this numbers mean
----------------------
In the past, the spanish translation people used their own,
web driven, translation system for the debian package descriptions.
Now we have included all translated descriptions in the DDTP and we
are starting the spanish translation of all package descriptions
with the DDTP. You can see the start at
http://ddtp.debian.org/pdesc/gnuplot/ddts-stat.png
How you can help
----------------
If you speak spanish, you can send a mail to pdesc@ddtp.debian.org
with the subject 'GET 2 es' and the server will send two
untranslated package descriptions with a guide.
Translate the attachement (read first the guide) and send the
translation back to the server (as attachment).
It's also very important to review the translations, since the
imported descriptions need to be reviewed.
Use 'review 2 es' as subject in the server mail.
See the guide for more commands.
How you can use the translations
--------------------------------
use some apt sources with translated package files. Maybe you found
some mirrors in Spain. If not, you can use
deb http://ddtp.debian.org/aptable es/woody main
in /etc/apt/sources.list, make a 'apt-get update' and all package
frontends use the translated package files.
I update http://ddtp.debian.org/packages.debian.org/ too. Now we
have also package pages with es translation on this site. See
http://ddtp.debian.org/packages.debian.org/testing/allpackages.es.html
as a starting point.
Thanks

These people made all the work and translated the package
descriptions into spanish.
