Hi Jakob, and welcome to the i18n team. It's great that you join us, since we didn't have a Swedish translation team, as you saw on the wiki. You were right to add yourself there. I added your Mageia account to the mga-i18n group: it will enable you to log into transifex.mageia.org, which is the web-based tool that we use for string translation. Could you try to log there once? Then I can add you to the Swedish translation team (see here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Short_guide_to_transifex ), and you will be able to start the real work. As you can see here: https://transifex.mageia.org/projects/p/mageia_i18n/r/mga2/ only 14% of the strings of the software specific to Mageia are translated in Swedish for Mageia 2. Though, most of those tools come from Mandriva where most of them were translated, so the first step is: - Have a look at this page to know which .po files were already imported to Transifex (short Tx), namely the project which are mostly translated. - Use this wiki page https://wiki.mageia.org/en/List_of_Mageia_transifex_projects to find on our SVN the sv.po files for the other softwares. There are a few projects which are partly translated on Tx (like 20% or so), you should check if the .po files which are on the SVN do not contain more translated strings (maybe Umeaboy, who seems not to be active now, started translating from 0 while there were already .po files he could have used). - Import those .po files to Tx under the right project name (see the page linked above for a correspondance). - Then you can start the strings which were modified after the fork, mostly strings in which "Mageia" replaced "Mandriva" or new/fixed strings added by the developers. If one of the point is not clear enough, feel free to ask for more details. You can have a look here for a short guide to Tx: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Short_guide_to_transifex Regards, Rémi / Akien
