Hi all,
Sorry for all the mail on language localization. If you are not into
that sort of thing, no need to read further.
I just reviewed all the language translations and am looking for
volunteers to help make some changes. This is technical work
involving character sets and doesn't necessarily require language
fluency.
[1] Ukranian: Whole thing needs conversion from koi-8 character
set to ISO 10646 Numerical Entity References.
[2] Polish: About ten characters need conversion from ISO-8859-2
character set to ISO 10646 Numerical Entity References.
[3] Portugese: About ten characters need conversion from ISO-8859-1
character set to either ISO 10646 Numerical Entity References
or HTML 4.01 Character Entity References.
[4] Chinese (traditional): I don't know what happened here, but the
localization file is corrupt and I don't have a good copy. The
translation needs to be completely redone.
Of course if you are a native speaker and want add a new localization
or revise an existing localization, please go ahead and do so. I've
changed the template file slightly (it's a little shorter now).
Translators may want to take a look at the English localization
(l10n.en.sed) to see how some of the phrases have been revised. For
example, __Chronological__ is now localized as "Date" in English.
This work is partly cleaning things up, and partly to prepare for the
possibility of using UTF-8 for the archival web pages in the future.
The files are in http://www.mail-archive.com/contrib/l10n, and
results can either be mailed to me privately, or collaborated on
over the gossip mailing list.
Cheers,
Jeff
