Hi, I'm the team leader for the Kinyarwanda OpenOffice translation. Unfortunately we missed out on previous versions due to missing vital steps in the procedure, so are keen to keep up to date this time.
Is any action needed by us before July 26th for our language to be included, and is it still correct to be translating the latest SRC680 po files (currently SRC680_m214)? Many regards, Steve. --- Rafaella Braconi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Translators/Localizers, > > I would like to give you some information about the upcoming 2.3 > update release. > > Translation deadline for 2.3 is July 26th, 2007 > > We estimate that the wordcount to be translated for the 2.3 update > release to be approx. 3000 for the GUI and 17,000 for the Help. > > Note that July 26th is also the bug fixing deadline for all language > relevant issues.
