Hi ,
Dwayne and Alberto, I do not get the point. Can you be a bit more
specific _why_ OOo is such a wall for translation teams ? You may or may
not remember how to localize the 1.x.x branches and how the process have
been improved. If there is still a learning curve, sure it is a complex
and huge project, but a lot of people are already worked and still
working on it make it more comfortable. In my opinion the "OOo 2.0" way,
download the po file and start translation / touching 3 - 4 code code
sections to add the new language / create a new locale, is no longer
rocket engineering nor needs a master degree in computer science.
One part of this wall is the pure amount of strings you have to
translate, so this is far away from a 2 weekends work. I hope to see a
lot of finnished localisation in the 2.x tree. Did you ever heard about
any other Office Suite translated in Khmer, Gujarati or Mossi ?
Any suggestions, ideas and improvements are welcome!
Cheers,
Ivo

We can count correctly ;-)
Have a look at

And there I thought you were going to send me an exciting list. Nope
its the same old same old in that list. If I hadn't got a lot of South
African languages in there would be very little show.
For an idea of how the figures were done. Counted languages in localize
files ie languages that actually exist. Group cooperative groups eg
Translate.org.za and some of the Indic languages. Do that and I'm
afraid you arrive at low figures.
This is the list of issues in latest l10n CVS. And there are at least
another 10 languages not merged (will be done for 2.0.1).
That is better news. But it still means its not in 2.0 :( and it still
means we're a long long way from anything particularly radical. If we
were adding 25 languages then I'd get shivers up my spine!
