[Translate-discuss-zu] Multilanguage Release Candidate for OpenOffice.org 1.1.3

[David F. <da...@sj...>]

Hi all

There is a new multilingual build of OOo 1.1.3 available on sourceforge
- see
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=91920&package_id=107167&release_id=258307 



At the moment, it is only available on Linux, Windows builds are in the
pipeline...

This build contains English, Afrikaans, Northern Sotho, Tswana and Zulu.
All the languages will be installed.
The translations are almost all up to date with latest translate cvs
(Zulu has had a few additions)
In addition, the errors with \n being inserted into the translations
have been removed.
The help is untranslated (English) but can still be used from any of the
different languages.

Instructions:
- download the build
- untar it
- cd into the folder
- ./setup-xx will run the setup program in language xx
- once it is installed, you can use the program ooswitchlang in the
OpenOffice.org/program directory to switch the languages
- on linux, ooswitchlang requires Python and wxPython to be installed .
- we'll try simplify ooswitchlangs interface soon. On Windows it will be
a standalone executable
- you have to quit openoffice and restart to switch languages

Only a multilingual build is available to persuade everyone to test that
rather than single language builds, but these will be made available
later (as I said before).
Everyone who wants to help test - please download and give feedback...

This is actually testing a number of things:
- compatibility of linux build with various platforms
- the latest translations
- the multilingual setup

Feedback on any of the above is helpful, esp the multilingual setup. the
more detail the better!

Cheers
David

PS Some may notice a certain similarity between this and a previous
announcement. We eagerly desire testers! We want to put this release
onto CD. That's why I'm now sending this to the -discuss-NN lists to :-)
