The major part missing in Norwegian is (half of) the critics - so boring to translate... > (Of course the Swedish isn't really an issue since I've never > met a Swedish programmer who's English wasn't as good as mine). I would say that the same goes for Norwegians - hardly any difference between Danish, Swedish and Norwegian talking people when it comes to English. However, the reason I translated ArgoUML to Norwgian was to use it in our university college/in education. The students are good in English, but not when it comes to technical language... > Which languages is it most important to have coverage for? What can we do > to improve them? French/Spanish is quite important, I guess. If we could get the French Debian team interested in ArgoUML, it would be done in vey little time (but they prefer to work with po-files)... In my view, big languages should have good coverage, so we can increase our user base. And as I hinted, one way to improve the stats is to get Debian translation teams interested in ArgoUML, but then we need to get a newer version into Debian: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/argouml > Files Properties > Locale Missing Extra Missing Extra % Missing > de 0 0 16 0 0% > nb 0 0 143 0 4% > it 1 1 250 61 7% > pt 1 0 294 36 8% > es 6 0 730 30 21% > ru 3 1 821 96 23% > en_GB 5 0 1046 88 30% > fr 4 0 1066 54 30% > ro 1 0 1109 0 32% > zh 17 3 1630 319 46% > sv 19 0 1888 0 54% Hans PS! ArgoUMl comes prepackage with Debian - http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/argouml FreeBSD - http://www.freshports.org/devel/argouml/ Any more? Should we contact with the people contributing these packages to ensure that the versions don't lag too far behind? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
