Dear all, This is a quick note to announce that OpenOffice.org 2.x will soon be available in Scottish Gaelic (gd). This builds upon the previous localisation of OpenOffice.org 1.1.1 which was completed in 2005. This version of the software is currently being used in every Gaelic-medium and Gaelic-teaching school in Scotland.
As with our previous project, the Scottish Gaelic version of OpenOffice.org 2 is being funded by the Scottish Government through Learning and Teaching Scotland. Our immediate target audience consists of school children and teachers at all levels of Gaelic education. One of my priorities for this iteration of the project is to establish a proper project website within OpenOffice.org so that work can more easily proceed on a voluntary basis upon completion of this particular development phase. Time constraints and issues around language usage debate prevented us from properly fulfilling this element of the project brief last time so it is certainly something that is high on the agenda now. If anyone is interested in the Gaelic version of this software, would like to help as a contributor or is interested in continuing to work on OpenOffice.org in Gaelic once version 2.x has been released, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.
