Dear fellow website translators,

I'd like to give you all a status update:

The website is fast enough again for browsing (for over a week now), but
some of the internal parts currently do not work well, and editing the
CMS is too slow to ask anyone to do it without having a bad conscience
about it. It also sometimes creates problems for which we do not yet
have a solution.


If you find that you would really like to do some translation work, you
can - to bridge that grey, cruel time until real editing is enjoyable
again - grab the .po file for your language now and translate some of
the base strings of the website ;) (for links and instructions see Wiki
page)

Instructions here:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite#Translating_other_parts_of_the_website

You can also translate our two new news items:

- (about the website update):
https://inkscape.org/en/news/2016/02/09/website-updated-2016/

- (about FOSSASIA competition):
http://inkscape.org/en/news/2016/02/18/fossasia-and-openclipart-t-shirt-design-contest/

(but do it in one go, and make a local backup text file that you can
paste back, because if you try to edit an existing news translation, you
may get a cached version of the edit dialog, which can contain an older,
incomplete translation version - also, if you want to correct a mistake
you only discover after publishing.)

Also take a look at our new team: https://inkscape.org/en/*translator

I have an email prepared for you sitting in my draft mail folder with
all relevant editing changes, and I'm looking forward to sending it when
editing works well again.

Hopefully that will be soon,
 kind regards,
 Maren
