[sword-devel] Localisation of front-end apps
The Localisation table in our wiki page “Choosing a SWORD program” still has too many red cells. * There are major languages such as Thai that too few apps support. * There are currently no apps that support (e.g.) Lao. * There are major languages not yet listed * Bishop needs the whole column to be edited. We need to have a drive for increasing the scope of our localisation support across the board. And, if perhaps some localisations have been provided since the table was last updated, please add the details.

As far as I'm aware, not a single new translation resulted from this. Several of the existing translations are simply decaying slowly over time as the code changes; every time a new dialog or warning or label is added that no one translates, the translations get worse. I have no idea how to induce would-be translators to enter and take part, even though one of Xiphos' Help selections is an explicit invitation for such translators. ___ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
