Hi :) Have you been able to push this further forwards yet?

CALL FOR TESTING of 4 Oneiric language pack update (Deadline 14th of March)
Hallo translators, It is now time for the fourth language pack update cycle for Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). We've uploaded the language packs to the oneiric-proposed repository for you to test before they are released to all users. These should contain all your updates and fixes in translations done since the release date. I'd like to ask teams to test them and provide an indication that they've done so by following some simple steps and submitting a signoff, so that we know that translations have been successfully tested. Simply follow the instructions in this page and add your team's signoff in the appropriate table: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/LanguagePackUpdatesQA The desktop specific language packs will only be distributed for the desktops (e.g. GNOME and KDE) that have been tested. PLEASE NOTE. That since this a normal update you do not need to do the documentation tests. The deadline for the testing is the 14th of March (in one week's time). After that, we'll update the language packs we've received feedback for into oneiric-updates, so that all users can benefit from the new translations and fixes. Remember that you'll have to to enable the oneiric-proposed repository to get these updates: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed Notes - Remember that now you can subscribe to the iCal feed to stay up to date with language pack updates and better coordinate your work: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/OneiricLanguagePackReleaseSchedule Thank you for your help in testing translations for all users in your language!

Small UI freeze exception request for ubuntu-sso-client
I wanted to make sure both the translators and docs lists were aware of a small UI change that we need to make to the Ubuntu SSO Client package in order to make the widgets have proper margins: http://pad.lv/945065 If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.

Bengali Translation Sprint for Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise)
Dear Bengali translators, Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) will be a LTS (long term support) release, scheduled on 26th April. Usually, Canonical renders 3 years support for LTS version's of Ubuntu. We all know Ubuntu comes in Bengali language along with many other. Unfortunately, Bengali was not fully localised language for 11.10 official release. Languages without 80% translations are not official. Currently the Bengali localization is staying on 74% (may vary, cause individuals continuously translating through launchpad). Ankur[0] have been translating Ubuntu along with lots of other open source projects, but still we cannot achieve the percentage to be an official language of Ubuntu 12.04. We are running just couple of thousands strings behind. An effort from a group of 10 for an entire day would boost our effort and Bengali will achieve the 80% milestone. Let us push the Bengali translation to reach the 80% milestone to make our Language included with the Ubuntu 12.04 official release. To accomplish this Ankur is going to arrange a day long Translation Sprint for Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) on 16th March, 2012. To participate, you have to fill this (http://bit.ly/AnkurSprinter10) form. Due to limited seating capacity in Ankur's office, the Ankur localization team will choose a group of 10 participants from the applicants. Participants will be get gifts from Ankur. 1. A polo T-Shirt 2. A Cap 3. A Mug 4. A certificate of participation (Participants from outside of Dhaka will be given Travel assistance). So, hurry up make yourself one of the Sprinter 10 [0] http://www.ankur.org.bd regards mak_ https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-bn https://launchpad.net/~lp-l10n-bn -- ubuntu-translators mailing list ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
