Hi, My name is Pau Iranzo and I've been the maintainer of the ca-XV translation until the last version of OOO before it became AOO. I've been following the discussion and I just wanted to mention that I agree on the proposed solution: keeping ca-XV for AVL and find a different code for the RACV version (ca-XR?).
Regarding working in pootle please create a Pootle account for me. I state that my contributions are under the Apache 2 license and I will work on both ca and ca-XV translations. My preferred username is PauGNU. Thanks, Pau 2014-04-21 0:05 GMT+02:00 Andrea Pescetti <[email protected]>: > On 20/04/2014 Software Valencià wrote: > >> we would like to be supported by OpenOffice so we could save a lot of >> work. >> > > No problem!
