[fetchmail-users] fetchmail project needs translators!

[Matthias A. <mat...@gm...>]

Greetings,

The fetchmail project needs YOU - as translator. If you know your
language well, spell safely, please consider helping with translating
fetchmail. Translations are coordinated by the translation project,
http://translation.sourceforge.net/

The procedure is simple:

1. join your language team (see above link) - it usually means
subscribing to the language team's mailing list and mentioning there
that you'd wish to translate fetchmail message catalogs
2. download the -rc5 tarball to get an up-to-date .pot file
3. perhaps download the .po file from the repository (ask on the
fetchmail-devel list for the exact address)
4. translate -- there are powerful tools to make this easy: There is a
"po-mode" for the emacs editor, and there is "kbabel", a standalone KDE
application.
5. mail the translation to the translation project's robot

6. the robot will archive the translation, check it, and if complete,
send a copy to the fetchmail-devel list.

For the languages marked with an asterisk below, except French, we have
translators. I have been updating the French translation for the nonce,
but I'd rather wish that a native or very experienced (several years in
a Francophone area, with some courses) speaker handled this.

We have outdated translations (that means less work than a new
translation) for Albanian, Danish, Galician, Greek, Japanese, Brazilian
Portuguese, Slovak, Turkish.

These are our current statistics, languages shipping are marked with an
asterisk or plus. Those with asterisk have a translator.

I will not ship the translations without asterisk unless they are
updated soon.
