Of the thirty PO files bundled with ELinks 0.11.3, only nine are more than half complete. To attract people to complete the translations, I propose to submit ELinks to the Free Translation Project: <http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/HTML/maintainers.html>
AFAIK, maintainers of ELinks have not been asking contributors to assign copyright on code or translation updates. So I would tell the Translation Project that ELinks is not a GNU package and we do not require copyright disclaimers. The Translation Project seems picky on version numbers of POT files. For 0.12.GIT and prereleases such as 0.12.0pre1, I think we should use a "0.12b20070624" format. For actual releases such as ELinks 0.11.3, we could use "0.11.3", but it may be better to use "0.11b20070415" as this allows us to make prereleases within a stable branch (e.g. 0.11.4pre1) and have them sorted correctly. Or perhaps we don't need such prereleases and the long numbers would just confuse. I don't know whether there would be a conflict between the people who have been maintaining the ELinks translations now and the teams that would hack the PO files from the Translation Project. Personally, I am not in much contact with the Finnish team but wouldn't mind letting them take over. Appendix.
