I did offer to do it for Dutch: Several versions ago I did translate lots of
pages on my own and then a complete new release of Swiki came out. So I wait
now for a coordinator.
I did also ask if it was possible to make a kind of mapping file for all
those texts that show up on the screens, metaphoric speaking: like the
patchboxes for midi-instruments. (as far as I know is there no
language-parsing.)
If a button has some text on top, then you have to create for every button
four alternatives in your own language: What I did was change one an then
create the other three by manipulating the color-scheme of the changed first
one.
