Hello,
I know some of you have already published their report, but this is
just a reminder that your yearly status report is due on the 30th of
January.
In terms of format, a mail will be fine but if you wish to you may
send an attachment to me that I will publish in our Documents section
on the web site.
The Irish team had a quiet 2007 compared to 2006, the year which saw
our first ever release (2.1) with 100% of the GUI translated. That
was in December 2006 and the launch got a good bit of press coverage
in the Irish language media.
The Belfast Irish language daily newspaper "Lá Nua" had a nice piece
on p3 here:
http://borel.slu.edu/gnu/la.pdf
under the title "Ní hamháin Gaelach ach saor chomh maith", which is a
cute, hard-to-translate pun: "Not only Gaelic but free as well".
The only support requests we've gotten have been because of problems
downloading from a particular mirror site in Ireland. We're
handling all support through the mailing lists at ga.openoffice.org.
Everyone seems happy with the translation so far.
I've been busy this year, along with the other primary translator,
working on KDE and Firefox 3.0 localizations, so these days we're
playing a bit of catch-up on about 800-900 string changes that we
hadn't bothered to update since 2.1. Those are mostly complete now,
thanks to 3-4 other dedicated volunteers and some "new blood" too.
The other big news from 2007 is that I managed to create a
full-scale thesaurus for Irish, and in October released it for use
with OOo. That work formed part of my academic research on semantic
networks for minority languages; you can read more here:

Thanks for the update, it's great to hear from the Irish team! I'm
uploading your report now.
Cheers,
Charles.
