Hi,

I'm responsible for the Norwegian (Nynorsk) KDE translation. This weekend, I'll attend 
to a conference in Oslo, where the issue of Nynorsk software is discussed. As you 
perhaps know, Microsoft has never released Nynorsk versions, and there are very little 
Nynorsk software in general. The release of KDE 2.0 was welcomed by many, also 
non-Linux users. At his conference, I'll get the chance to discuss with people from 
Microsoft and present the Nynorsk KDE translation.

I've heard that the Icelandic KDE came before MS created Windows in Icelandic, and 
that it kind of put a pressure on MS. But I prefer knowing, not guessing, so I hope 
you can tell me something about the "history". (I've seen some articles on Icelandic 
web sites, but I can't read Icelandic very well ...)

How much has MS translated? Just Windows, or Office as well?

What did the Icelandic government have to do? (I've heard that the Norwegian 
government wants to avoid the same deal.)

Is KDE used today by people/companies that "normally" wouldn't use Linux (Unix) and 
KDE?

I hope you can help me so that I can present some facts on the conference.

Regards,
 Gaute Hvoslef Kvalnes
