Hi everyone, I would like to formally propose the establishment of a Scottish Gaelic native language project for OpenOffice.org. My team has been working on a localisation of OpenOffice.org into this language for the last year and version 1.1.1 is almost ready for release. We aim to complete the localisation by the end of February.
The Scottish Gaelic localisation has been funded by the Scottish Executive (http://www.scotland.gov.uk) through an organisation called Learning and Teaching Scotland (http://www.ltscotland.org.uk). In addition to localising the OpenOffice.org application itself, for both Linux and Windows platforms, we have produced a significant amount of supporting materials, tutorials and custom help content in Scottish Gaelic. It is hoped that the initial development phase for this localisation will continue, either on a formal or informal basis, so that we can soon provide OpenOffice.org 2.0 and forthcoming versions in Gaelic as well. The establishment of an NLP for this initiative would help us greatly in attracting assistance for future development and also in providing an effective forum for discussion of linguistic and technical issues that have arisen in the course of the 1.1.1 localisation effort.
