Help adapting poster for aussie use.
Afternoon all. I'd like to do some subtle promotion in my local area (community nocticeboards etc), so I had a look at the spreadubuntu site, which has a decent list of resources. I had my eye on this one, which clearly was made for the ubuntu-uk LoCo. http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/en/material/poster/your-free-alternative-v2-ink-saving Unfortunately I am cursed with major FAIL using scribus. I can't figure out how to change the text layers. Given that it supposedly has a multilingual text layer file, I thought that the best way to do it would be to add another text layer (en-au) and modify the contact details to suit our LoCo. Are there any scribus gurus out there who can point me in the right direction or help me out? Obviously this would help all of us who want to promote ubuntu locally.
