[Audacity-translation] New mailing list member

[Lasse C <ri...@gm...>]

Hey everyone

I just joined this mailing list and wanted to introduce myself. My
name is Lasse, and I'm from Denmark. I have an MA in English, which is
just about the only relevant qualification I have relative to the
Audacity translation project; sadly, when it comes to SVNs and source
code, I am pretty much clueless. I noticed, however, that the Danish
translation of Audacity is very incomplete, and wanted to offer
assistance regardless of my technical shortcomings.

So, while I imagine you have about a thousand "false starters" for
every translator who actually follows through on their promises, I
come to you on bended knee, asking for someone to give me a primer on
the use of the SVN system on Google. I am very willing to begin the
translation process, but I am not sure how to get started. Do I just
translate the text in the "msgid" fields verbatim, and then put the
Danish equivalents in the "msgstr" fields? This I could start on even
without full access to the da.po file, which I could then just update
later.

Any help to get me started would be appreciated.

Oh, and I hope the layout of this introductory message is
satisfactory. While I've been using computers for over 25 years, and
the Internet for about 15, I have zero experience with projects and
communities of this nature.

Looking forward to hearing from someone :)

Best regards,

Lasse
