International Mother Language Day is an international observance, promoted by UNESCO, to promote awareness of linguistic diversity. IMLD will be February 21st, just 10 days from now. We plan to celebrate it with a blog post, a website banner, etc.
I think we have a good story to tell here, with the importance of open source software, like OpenOffice, to support languages that the big vendors would otherwise ignore. In the blog post I'd love to include some comments from our translators, especially translators who have worked on regional or minority languages. I don't need anything lengthy -- a sentence or two or even a paragraph is fine. But it would be good to say to the reader, why it is important to have OpenOffice translated into your language? What does this mean for speakers of that language? Why is this a good thing for your community? Something like that. If you could post a quote I can use to the list (or to me off-line) *before the end of this week* I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks! -Rob
