The Slovak translation should be in an importable state now.
I have been testing it successfully on my system for several weeks.

Martin, thanks for your contribution. I'm hoping Mark can import your language for 2.1.10. I'm also wondering whether we can get the Hebrew translation into 2.1.10.
Anything I can do to help...
Here's something I've been thinking about, and I'd like to know what you folks think about this.

Short of using a translation service such as Rosetta or Pootle, how can we make translations easier to add and update? What if all translators were to use Bazaar branches of the 2.1 tree to update and add new translations to? Then all we (i.e. core developers) would need to do would be to merge your branch to test the changes. It would make it easier for you because your translation branch could be easily kept up-to-date with the official 2.1 branch, and it would be easier for us to merge in your changes.

Is this a crazy idea or a good one? It should be fairly easy to implement both for you all and for us. If anybody has any questions about Bazaar, of course, we're here to help.
It sounds good to me. It seems to me that this would simplify keeping the translation up-to-date, and still not jepordize the main branch. It will also give me a good place and method to store the translation. This is a definite improvement over the present situation!
If you like this idea, I'd be happy to create a Launchpad team that you could join and publish branches to, although it would /not/ be required to use this. In other words, you could use any Bazaar

branch hosting service to publish your i18n branches, even one you hosted yourself. The only thing I'd request is that we update the wiki page

http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Languages

to include the location of the branch. The really cool thing is that we could write a script to automatically scrape that page and pull your updates whenever we're about to cut a new release.

Martin, how would you like to be the test subject on this one? :)
Again, if you would like more than 1 test subject...
Thoughts?
