Hello, we started with the translation of the OSGeoLive documents at the code sprint at FOSS4G.
You can join in the irc #osgeolive We created directories and named them ja, de, it (if we decide to use other names we easily can rename them later). We added a new headline to the wiki page Live_GIS_Add_Project where we will describe the tranlation process and what you have to do for translation. We can discuss this later: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Translations Have fun Astrid On Thu, September 9, 2010 6:02 am, Alex Mandel wrote: > A quick comment, the recommended method for linking alternate languages > these days is to use the name of the language written in it's native > characters.
