What would an i18n project be needed for? Mainly, to try to provide to our= =20 non-English native users a more friendly environment. We discussed many tim= es=20 in the past about making simpler having UTF-8 support, or even enabling it = by=20 default, but of course it's difficult to handle this right now, and this is= =20 not the only concern. What I have in mind is establishing some kind of team that would collaborat= e=20 with the current doc translators that would like to help, trying to get oth= er=20 parts of Gentoo accessible to non-English speakers. Translating man pages f= or=20 Gentoo-specific software, making Portage and other gentoo-specific packages= =20 i18n-capable and translating them, translating forums (I think the Forums=20 stuff already handle that, but maybe it would help if we're able to get a=20 more "complete" team). Least but not last, also translating software that's missing translator, li= ke=20 I did for xine-lib/xine-ui/gxine and Italian this week, or at least=20 release "poupdate" tarballs with translations updated from CVS when the one= s=20 in the releases are obsolete. This might also help to find a "home" to utf8 and cjk herds, for instance. I'm actually going to work to add to Portage (will-be-2.2) i18n capabilitie= s=20 next week, and I'll be doing for sure the Italian translation. Comments, thoughts, translation, are all welcome :) [1]=20 http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/articles/2006/06/08/do-we-need-an-i= 18n-project =2D-=20 Diego "Flameeyes" Petten=F2 - http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/ Gentoo/Alt lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, AMD64, Sound, PAM, KDE --nextPart1410680.ZkXQu0H4v8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEigY6e2h1+2mHVWMRApNqAKC0z6wxj5QQbJ8zW3XHH9xPlR6NzwCeMGkn +PgX/wcpi44TWGK1s8pf6/Y= =OWB6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1410680.ZkXQu0H4v8-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
