Re: [project-open-localization] ]project-open[ Localization News

[Frank B. <fra...@pr...>]

Hi Leopoldo,

I've created an accout for your at
http://l10n.project-open.net/. You should be able to log in
now.

However, please coordinate yourself with Michel Menzel and
check what you want to work on. Basically, we've thought to
support two Spanish variants - Castilian and Latin American
Spanish.

So there would be two important contributions from you:

- Work with Michael on Castilian Spanish. This is the "default",
  so es_LA will "inherit" all translations from es_ES, unless
  there is a specific translation in es_LA and

- Start defining these (hopefully few!) translations that are
  really different in es_LA.

Does this make - more or less - sense?

Did you see the "Terminology" page in the Wiki? Maybe it would
be a good idea to copy the list into the "language_es_LA" page
and thinking about the terms that are different from es_ES.

Cheers!
Frank
