I must admit I'm a bit hesitant about giving resources to those sort of languages. Of course, nothing prevent anyone from creating the necessary files for such languages, and then package them for extra installations on any distro. But we have to keep in mind that any new language do add costs globally: setup time on infrastructure level, bandwith time for everyone who checkout sources, storage cost, more longer language dropdowns, etc. etc. For any real language, I'm convinced it's always worth the cost, but not so for languages that have no real native speakers. Don't we have enough languages on earth to have to add more? Sorry if I offended anyone.

I completely agree that "epl" would be a waste of resources and I also aplogize for wasting precious attention on a poor attempt at humor. On a more serious note, I am engaged in several projects to localize the Sugar UI for the OLPC XO laptop into indigenous languages of South and Central America (in particular in Mexicao and Peru). hus - Huastec (Téenek) has made excellent progress and the OLPC Mexico team may soon be tackling nah - Nahuatl A group in Peru is planning a translation marathon in Lima for Quechua [most likely the quz - Quechua (Cusco-Collao) variant] as well as aym - Aymara (Aru). glibc locales are in development and will be upstreamed when ready. There are certain advantages to working on Sugar L10n, as a graphic-heavy interface, we can provide a fairly fully localized interface on a small string budget (about 10K words covers Sugar and many educational "actviities". It may be some time before the teams are ready to take on a full Gnome L10n effort, but I will be encouraging them to consider the OLPC "release set" of Gnome packages in order to provide L10n in the Gnome dual-boot on OLPC builds, but we are starting with Sugar first for what I hope are obvious reasons. One can anticipate that raising kids to expect a native language computing experience will help drive more upstream L10n in future. If anyone has contacts interested in these indigenous languages or any number of other less-common languages from the less-developed regions that the OLPC effort is targeting, please feel free to join the effort on our Poolte server. http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ Warmest Regards, cjl ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

String additions to 'zenity.master'
This is an automatic notification from status generation scripts on: http://l10n.gnome.org. There have been following string additions to module 'zenity.master': + "Add a new List in forms dialog" + "List field and header name" + "List of values for List" + "List of values separated by |" Note that this doesn't directly indicate a string freeze break, but it might be worth investigating. ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

It doesn't appear we mention the switch in the help, so this won't invalidate anything. I would like to add a note about right-clicking to see the password to step 2 in net-wireless-connect.page. I can't do that now, because gnome-user-docs is frozen for 3.2.1. I'll give a docs team approval, with the understanding that we won't add the note in the help until 3.2.2. -- Shaun ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
