Translating Pegasus Mail

This section offers a short description of how a translated version 
of Pegasus Mail is created, and how you might be able to help.

Pegasus Mail consists of many language resources, among them this 
extremely large helpfile, so the process of translation is naturally 
quite time-consuming. In most cases, not only the resources need to 
be translated but the dialogs and windows themselves have to be 
resized and reorganized in order to ”fit” the new texts, because non-
English versions are usually either much longer or shorter than the 
original English versions. A complete translation of Pegasus Mail 
from scratch needs some hundreds of hours including testing cycles - 
it‘s hard work but it‘s very rewarding!

Given the amount of work involved, the process of translation is 
usually carried out by a team of people, each taking a smaller part 
of the whole process. A translation team usually consists of a team 
leader who coodinates the work of the individual translators and 
merges the results, and anywhere from two to six assistant 
translators who each take a part of the translation process. The team 
leader has to know Pegasus Mail in detail and must have an excellent 
grasp of the English language.

The translation is done step by step including an intensive beta 
testing period for a couple of weeks with a closed beta test user 
group. When the beta test team decides that the translation is ready 
for release, the resources are made available for download through 
the official Pegasus Mail Internet sites. There will also be 
announcements on mailing lists and in selected newspapers/magazines.

your mother tongue, please contact the translation coordinator at:
