I think there is now a big lack of ability to find your local Ubuntu resources. Previously, it was easy to go to the LoCoTeam's site or forums, now it's basically impossible other than doing a search for "ubuntu" using the Google search. I know it's available via "Participate" (or "Osallistu" in Finnish), but if you are searching for help on eg. forums in your own language, you cannot be expected to "Participate" and read through multitude of English choices to finally find "Local Ubuntu Teams" which still doesn't sound like "Local help by the community" but some activity you have to join. Basically the Ubuntu Help should IMHO include some of the stuff currently found at http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/. As https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10 is not yet open, of course I don't know if it already has some of that stuff! It could even have eg. two panes, one with the ubuntu-docs stuff and one with eg. the translated "Getting Help with Ubuntu" paragraph from http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/. Would something like that be doable? Likewise, the localized "Participate in Ubuntu" could be used as an introductory text on the Participate page. So all the three linked pages are in English only currently. https://help.ubuntu.com/ could be translated since all translations for ubuntu-docs are in Launchpad, but apparently it's still not (at least for Finnish, fi). Is this going to be improved for Ubuntu 8.10? Furthermore, indeed the Search button should be translated too. In Finnish/fi it's "Hae". Anyway, thanks all for the work done, it's a tight schedule. -Timo -- ubuntu-translators mailing list ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
