Hi,
I'm searching for a common landing page where every user can see at
once all the languages that are available for OOo, with links to
the localized support pages etc.
Unfortunately, such a page does not exist, at least I could not
find any.
I found http://native-lang.openoffice.org/ with a table of some of
the languages at the very end. There is so much text in developer
jargon before that table that I doubt any user will scroll down to
that place, beware repeat this several times to see all the
languages. May be I'm searching the wrong project.
I want to give a link in the installed help: "Click here to find
the OOo pages in your language" for the user who wants to get help
but who is not used in reading English.
We've tried versions of this, and I used to list all languages. But
it's become much more difficult to reliably track all languages and
so what we do now is focus on those that are ready for download and
use--which is what your hypothetical user would want, anyway. And for
those, we use the NLC projects homepages. Basically, if the NLC
project exists, the language exists.
But even there it's not easy. For instance, there are numerous Indic
languages that are not represented, and there are South African ones,
and there are some Central/South American ones, and these are usable.
So let's focus on what's on OOo and people can download from here.
Then I'd like to use qatrack as a *start* and have a "dynamic" (ie,
no one is responsible for cutting and pasting, it automaticaly--
magically--updates) coming from:
http://qatrack.services.openoffice.org/view.php
Users could then see which languages are ready and what build, with
the simplicity being that we only promote those builds that are, say,
stable. (Unless we really want to have some fun :-)
The key point here is to *not* have this page become a download page
but only have links in it to those NLC pages or to the download page
itself, the latter preferred, so we can track downloads.
Does this get at what you want?
Best,
louis
