After some dull time it seems there is interest in the Icelandic
translation after all. debian-user-icelandic has been abuzz with
interested parties, and the plan is to meet monday night and translate
some more of level1.
Is there a list of .po files that make up level1.po? I have to
split it
up into manageable chunks to give to people, that I can then merge
into
the main file. I'll work on it this weekend, but it'd be nice to have
any pointers.
Another possibility for anyone who wants to divide up a large file,
or distribute the translating task over a file, series of files or
project, is to use Pootle [1].
You can install your own Pootle offline (e.g. a translatathon where
Internet connection is unreliable) or online (e.g. the BitTorrent
Pootle [2]), or you can use the main Pootle site [3]. All you need to
do is register, and ask on the mailing list [4] about setting up
projects and adding files.
Among other things, it simplifies the task for new translators, or
people who don't have much time: log in, enter a translation and
press Submit. Nothing else required. :) The interface is configurable.
Pootle is open-source, and has a very supportive community.
