Re: [slx-www-int] Want to help with translation
X-Post, please Reply-To: debian-edu@lists.debian.org
Dear Yus, dear list,
as I feel, there is too few people reading [www-int], I take the ocasion to
bring this topic to the main list:
Few days ago, Yus offered translating Debian-Edu to Indonesian (> 300 millions
of inhabitants) supported by a local translation team. As you will read
below, they already translated the debian-installer - but didn't send this
in, yet.
Some week ago, Frode asked about the process of moving to ez on [www-int]. No
reply at all. Everybody feels, that the plone site has become very static
since deciding to move away from it during the Ulsrud meeting. This state is
not too satisfying.
Personally, I won't attend to the next gathering at Oslo/Ski, but I think the
web presence of Skolelinux should be a topic there. Don't mean to be
"instructive" here, it is just, what I feel.

Okay, so your range of languages is really wide! Which of these languages are
you able to write in a way, that the result could be ready for publishing?

You will find it at http://www.skolelinux.org/portal/contact/ - but Alex is
subscribed to [www-int] anyway.

Okay, I am not an .po expert either, but regard myself as a stupid clicking
skolelinux using teacher - even though, I learned a lot during the past two
years.

As you might have learned from my introduction, the web presence is a bit "on
ice" at the moment - but there should be plenty of educative software which
awaits localization. For pimary schooks, gcompris would be worth a look, I
don't know how about openoffice or koffice. If you just want to set a land
mark, feel invited to create a personal/project page in the Wiki of the
German Skolelinux team: www.skolelinux.de/wiki
