Starting this Thursday November 4 and continuing for 24 hours, we will
be hosting a sprint to finish up remaining translations needed to ship
our upcoming release, Leila E. We're transitioning the front-end of
Mifos to a new UI framework and must now re-translate each screen.
We've started using a new tool with a fantastic community called
Translatewiki.net <http://translatewiki.net/> . Our product is
currently available in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese so we
need your help in getting the new pages translated.
Help bring Mifos to microfinance institutions across the globe. We're
looking for translators to help in getting our project translated into
Tagalog, Arabic, Bengali, Swahili, and the Indic languages.
If you want to participate, please sign up for a free account on
Translatewiki.net: http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:FirstSteps and
show up on the Mifos IRC channel anytime on Thursday (Seattle time). If
you feel like replying to this message to indicate your interest in
joining the sprint, go for it!
Details on the Sprint can be found here <link to be inserted>.
The tokbox URL will be given out in the Mifos IRC channel at 0930.
The top translators who complete languages during the sprint will be
rewarded with a signed copy of Alex Counts' book - Small Loans, Big
Dreams
