Hi all, Sorry for all the mail on language localization. If you are not into that sort of thing, no need to read further.
I just reviewed all the language translations and am looking for volunteers to help make some changes. This is technical work involving character sets and doesn't necessarily require language fluency. [1] Ukranian: Whole thing needs conversion from koi-8 character set to ISO 10646 Numerical Entity References. [2] Polish: About ten characters need conversion from ISO-8859-2 character set to ISO 10646 Numerical Entity References. [3] Portugese: About ten characters need conversion from ISO-8859-1 character set to either ISO 10646 Numerical Entity References or HTML 4.01 Character Entity References. [4] Chinese (traditional): I don't know what happened here, but the localization file is corrupt and I don't have a good copy. The translation needs to be completely redone. Of course if you are a native speaker and want add a new localization or revise an existing localization, please go ahead and do so. I've changed the template file slightly (it's a little shorter now). Translators may want to take a look at the English localization (l10n.en.sed) to see how some of the phrases have been revised. For example, __Chronological__ is now localized as "Date" in English. This work is partly cleaning things up, and partly to prepare for the possibility of using UTF-8 for the archival web pages in the future. The files are in http://www.mail-archive.com/contrib/l10n, and results can either be mailed to me privately, or collaborated on over the gossip mailing list.
