Here is a little report on the status of the Arabic translation of the Debian project. As you know, we are intending to translate all that is possible on Debian.org's website, but also the documentation, the templates of Debconf, ... Until today, we've being concentrating on the po files provided on Debian's website's CVS and the main pages (index, Sarge release announcement). Unfortunately, the pages are in wml (thewml.org) and are hard to be non-manually converted into po files. Because of this pain, we'll only try to keep up-to-date at least for the big announcements (Debian-l10n's teams usually translate directly from wml files, but that is not well-adapted to our effort). On the other hand, there is much to do translating po-debconf templates, which are easy to access and integrate to our CVS, and a friendly way for beginners to start translating for Arabeyes and Debian. The effort has already started, as you can see on http://www.nl.debian.org/intl/l10n/po-debconf/ar But we have to keep it up-to-date and go on. All the coordination thing will be on [EMAIL PROTECTED], to avoid the pollution of [email protected], but there will obviously be regular reports here, as this effort remains completely an Arabeyes project, which is under the control of Ossama, also member of the QA Team. In the CVS, we now have an incomplete ar.po file for popularity-contest, whose last translator is Abdulaziz Al-Arfaj. Abdulaziz, do you have the time to complete the translation (2 fuzzies, 2 untranslated), or should it be reassigned? Some other file are incomplete, I'll commit them as soon as possible, also add other files which are not yet localised in Arabic. If you want to help, do not hesitate to join [EMAIL PROTECTED] (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-l10n-arabic), and raise your hand there. Also join us on #arabeyes (on irc.freenode.net). We (Ossama or me) will then assign you files to begin with. -- Mohammed Adnène Trojette
