So far I have locale files for Mexican Spanish, someone working on files for
Venezuelan Spanish, and someone working on files for Japanese.
*If you would like to have VCL 2.3 in your language, please contribute
translation files!* Anyone in the community can contribute these. It is a
great way for anyone to contribute back to the project. No special technical
skills are required.
Thanks!

*Translation help needed*
This is a development related issue, but I thought there may be people that
are only on the vcl-user list that may be interested in helping.
Yesterday, I checked in changes to the web code for JIRA issue VCL-485
which
allows for the web code to display in different locales for all the
parts of the site that a basic user would see. The basis for this code and
some initial translation work was contributed by Toru Yokoyama. The
multilingualization will be included in VCL 2.3. I decided not to do the
whole site to help in getting 2.3 out earlier, and doing the basic parts of
the site will cover a large percentage of people using the site.
I wrote up a page explaining how to add a new locale to VCL:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Adding+a+New+Locale+to+the+V
CL+Web+Frontend
What I need right now is to have people contribute some translations files
that can be included in the 2.3 release. The simplest way to do this is to
look under Obtaining necessary files on the above page. Then, download
the individual files, add the translations to them, and attach your new
files with the translations to the JIRA VCL-485 issue at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-485
If you really do not want to create an account on the JIRA site, you can
attach the files to an email to this list or send them to me directly.
Toru contributed translation for Japanese and Chinese for VCL 2.2. I added
any changes needed for the differences in VCL 2.2 and 2.3 for Japanese
using Google translate. So, it would be great if someone can review it and
make appropriate changes. I included the Chinese Toru contributed for 2.2,
but did not add anything for changes introduced by 2.3.
Please note that anyone can contribute translations! You do *not* need to
have an ICLA on file for this.
Thanks,
Josh
