Actually one of the reasons I started this thread is as my feeling is that if ISOC/HaMakor would like to find more people who will do good translations either free of charge, for a bounty or for real money then they should look in other places and not the HaMakor mailing list or the linux-il mailing list.
As I don't know any of the tranlator resources out there I don't know if the ISOC project has been advertised in those mailing-lists/web sites/whatever places translators or would be translators frequent. Uri and if there are other translators on the list might tell us and help the effort of ISOC/HaMakor to find suitable people for such projects. Uri, have you seen the ISOC KOL-KORE mentioned in translation related forums? How can one reach students who are planning to become a tech-translator and might be interested in doing these projects? Regarding the money: If there was enough money I would be glad to finance a number of key OS developers to let them free from their daily work and focus on their OS work. The Google Summer Code project was planned to provide money for people with little previous involvement in OS development in order to encourage them to do OS development. I guess the ISOC offering is can be used in similar ways for translation work. Having a guesstimate of how much would cost the work if they just simply hired a professional translator can provide a guideline (upper limit?) to how much need to be spent on each such project. Thirdly I still would like to see lists of applications to be translated/localized.
