Hi Pootle users,
As you know, the translation cycle for OO.o 3.0 is already started and
many languages are newly uploaded to Pootle.
There is a most frequently asked question: "How can I start translation
on Pootle?"
For the beginner, you can refer to the Pootle user guide to start the
first step:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Pootle_User_Guide
I'd like to reminder that the default permission when you register is
'suggest', which means you only can suggest but can't submit your
translation.
For submission, you need a 'submit' privilege and your language lead
will give you the privilege.
If you're a language lead but you don't get the right of language lead,
please let me know. I'll set the proper right for you.
Thanks,
Aijin

Dear Translators/Localizers,
we are ready to start working for the next major release :-) .
You have done an incredible great job for 2.x and I look forward to
work with all of you on the localization of OpenOffice.org 3.0.
Let me share with you some information regarding translation schedule
and estimated volume we will need to localize
*Release schedule for OpenOffice.org 3.0 release:*
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease30
*
Final Translation Delivery Date:*
April 3rd, 2008
*Estimated New/Changed Translation Volume for 3.0 - 1st handoff*
GUI + Help: 20,000 words (compared to a full localized 2.4 OOo version)
*Languages Uploaded to Pootle (sunvirtuallab):*
http://www.sunvirtuallab.com:32300/projects/openoffice_org/
*Translation Schedule for Pootle Users:*
There will be 3 handovers:
1st Translation Handover: January 30th - YOU CAN START WORKING :-)
2nd Translation Handover: February 20th
3rd Translation Handover: March 13th
IMPORTANT: before each handover it is important that complete
translated files are uploaded to Pootle. It is NOT important that you
translate everything but please make sure you upload all you have
translated so far to Pootle (otherwise you may risk to lose the
translated content or to overwrite the content of the second handoff
with old translation).
After the Pootle content gets updated with the second handoff you'll
need to go to Pootle and download the files you want to translate.
I will send out reminders when the second and third translation
handover dates are approaching.
Best Regards,
Rafaella
