I was a little bit late - I was caught by some hacking to solve

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.
Arabic, Czech, Galician, Hungarian, Portuguese (Brazilian) and Russian have been
activated for the OOo 3.3 update service. All users of these languages are
directed to http://www.openoffice.org/download
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.
Let me know, if the one or the other localized download page is available.
Best regards, Oliver.
