I have created ppa:gunnarhj/skype-translation. https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/skype-translation The PPA includes the Linux translations with > 95% of the strings translated, and my intention is to add further translations once they reach that coverage level. You may want to give me a hint. Please note that there is a technical restriction as regards the number of translations that can be distributed this way. In a few cases you can use the actual language code in the file names, but otherwise you need to replace the language code with two digits in the range 00 - 09, and 3 of those 10 positions are already 'taken'... Currently the PPA includes these packages: * skype-translation-gd (Scottish Gaelic) * skype-translation-hu (Hungarian) * skype-translation-ms (Malaysian) * skype-translation-nl (Dutch) * skype-translation-sr (Serbian) * skype-translation-sv (Swedish) -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- ubuntu-translators mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
