Yes the pot files for open office are presently being translated into a Tainui dialect of Maori. At some stage it will be ready, but not now, to be compiled. We work closely at a radio and television station so much of the communications is voice over a cup of coffee.
Developing a wider group on line would be the next stage to formalise the process. I would like some help introducing our translator of Tainui Maori to this group. The 10's of others are older and do not rely on the computer to communicate. So only a few will be linked in to the forum at this stage. Also it would be helpful to have a list of present languages in the pacific that have translation grounps. I think that there would however be non set up. So I would like to learn how to set up a group for Tainui and then replicate this process for pacific islands groups what are close by. Regards Roddy On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 8:11 AM, Charles-H.
