Hello, I'm one of the Traditional Chinese team, in fact we have 3 people who constantly watch blogs and mailing lists, translate and summary news to our google group here: https://groups.google.com/group/mageia-taiwan If you search 'mageia' for zh-TW pages, I believe it's listed just below official site pages which are also translated by us. The reason we cannot translate blogs is, it will take days for us to translate a blog article into Traditonal Chinese and qualify its content so it can be readible, and not all of us are available to translate it at the same time. By the time we can publish a fully translated blog article, it's not a news anymore. We choose the best way for local Taiwanese community to spread Mageia, while we can afford it with our real life. In the mean time, Mageia is still in alpha stage, and it does not fully support Traditional Chinese yet - no input method available[1]. We will keep watching the development progress and provide any possible asistance necessary to make Mageia a friendly product for Traditional Chinese users when the official stable release is out. Thanks, You-Cheng Hsieh [1]https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381
