That is very unfortunate - one of the reasons for using language packs is that there is no proper QA and people at first don't find their NL-Version and download the en-US one. Then people tell "doesn't matter, just download and install the small languagepack" and then again people cannot find it. > It's up to the native lang teams to test also language packs if they want to > make them available for the endusers. :-) Don't agree with the smiley here. You created the page because only "power users" are aware of mirrors. But now you're giving the argument that you need to be power user to use languagepacks. How does a non-power-user know about that process when it is nowhere mentioned on the page? At least add a prominent sentence like "If your language is not listed, then have a look at rc directory on extended mirrors. It will be only listed here when it has been approved by the corresponding native-lang projects (link to the process description) After all, those projects who are doing qa, mainly do this on the full versions - and users of those languages are likely to download the localized version first and are looking for the less prominent languages as an addition. ciao Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@l10n.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@l10n.openoffice.org
