For example we could add US, that is the fourth country by daily visits.
Ok, I will add en-US tomorrow morning 10:00 (GMT+2).
I was a little bit late - I was caught by some hacking to solve issues.
OOo 3.3 Update Service is now active for:
- Italian since Tuesday 10:00 (GMT+2)
- Spanish and Japanese since Thurday 10:00 (GMT+2)
- English (US) since Friday 11:00 (GMT+2)
We are in a good shape with our OOo 3.3 update service.
Thus, I will add tomorrow morning 09:30 (GMT+2)
- Chinese (simplified) with download page http://www.openoffice.org/download
Maybe better would be: http://www.openoffice.org/zh-tw/
That would give them more context, including the translation of the
AOO 3.4 announcement.
- Chinese (traditional) with http://www.openoffice.org/download
Same here, maybe better would be: http://www.openoffice.org/zh-cn/
- Dutch with http://www.openoffice.org/nl/downloaden.html
- French with http://www.openoffice.org/fr/Telecharger/
- German with http://www.openoffice.org/download
I wonder if better would be: http://www.openoffice.org/de/
So this is a question for others as well. We can either:
1) Point the user to the download page specifically, which is often in
English, rather than NL
or
2) Point the user to the NL page where available, provided it has a
prominent download link.
Advantage of #1 is it eliminates an extra mouse click. Advantage of
#2 is it gives the user additional NL context, including the AOO 3.4
announcement and other material. So #2 is probably easier for someone
with less English language skills.
I tend to agree with you.
Unfortunately, #2 is not a real advantage (I'm only speak for the German
webpage). The main page is in German, yes, but right the next click on the big
donwload button brings the user to an English-speaking webpage.
However, I would say that the "http://www.openoffice.org/de/"; link can be indeed
chosen. Just because this will give the German main page more attention than
before. And - who knows - maybe also more volunteers willing to work on the
German webpages.
>>> I will do so, if nobody raises any objections.
I have activated OOo 3.3 update for:
- Chinese (simplified) with download page http://www.openoffice.org/zh-cn/
- Chinese (traditional) with http://www.openoffice.org/zh-tw/
- Dutch with http://www.openoffice.org/nl/downloaden.html
- French with http://www.openoffice.org/fr/Telecharger/
- German with http://www.openoffice.org/de/
I am proposing to add the remaining languages on Thursday morning 09:30
(GMT+2). These are:
- Arabic
- Czech
- Galician
- Hungarian
- Portuguese (Brazilian)
plus Russian - sorry, just forgotten
The above languages will follow on Thursday, if nobody objects.
If there are any localized download pages for the above languages, please
let me know - I can then update the corresponding information.
Please provide localized download pages, if possible.
Best regards, Oliver.
