The Sugar Labs / OLPC Pootle instance has established an Aymara project, but it is missing plural form and special character data and the Aymara Sugar L10n community is only just starting to form and has not shown much visible activity. There is a substantial presence (on several hundred thousand XO laptops) of Sugar software in Peru (also Uruguay, default lang-es) and some pilot work by grassroots efforts in Bolivia just getting underway. Our lang-es localization is basically complete, which should be an aid to picking up indigineous languages like Aymara and Quechua from South and Central America. It would be quite nice if future versions of Virtaal could perform the poswap trick on the fly (start with lang-es PO, but create lang-ay output) as that would require less coordination/maniputaltion before and after the fact, but maybe that can be worked into a future release. cjl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Translate-pootle mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/translate-pootle
