Hallo everybody As some of you might already know, we are still expanding our programming staff, and we rely on our network of supporters to spread the news to find us great programmers to continue our work on translation tools. Feel free to send the following links around: http://translate.org.za/content/view/1814/51/ http://www.translate.org.za/ads/PALNet-programmers.pdf We are looking for programmers with an interest in languages. We do most of our work in the Python programming language, but such experience is not compulsory. Feel free to contact us at the specified email address if somebody wants more information about what the jobs could involve. Keep well Friedel Wolff -- Recent blogs: - http://translate.org.za/blogs/friedel/en/content/xml-government |

Dear All
ESTABLISHING A NETWORK ON PROJECTS DIRECTED AT PROMOTING AFRICAN
LANGUAGES IN SOUTH(ERN) AFRICA
During recent informal chats between Rosemarie Wildsmith-Cromarty (UKZN)
and I, the need for co-operation between South and southern African
linguists involved in research and development projects directed at
promoting was discussed. We agreed that the over-arching aim of all
these projects would be served if the scholars involved in these
projects somehow co-operated with one another. In this way, we could
avoid duplicating work, we could learn from each other (also from each
other's mistakes) and we could even discuss the possibilities of
collaborating.
As a consequence, Rosemary organised a special session during the
LSSA/SAALA/ SALT conference which took place at Potchefstroom at the
beginning of July during which participants could provide information on
their projects to one another, present findings and, also, discuss the
way forward. The following papers were given:
Rosemary: The translatability of academic discourse across languages
Esther Ramani e.a.: Terminology vs. concept development through
discourse
Vic Webb: The sociolinguistic development of African languages at UP
Thembinkosi Mabila: Multilingualism and development of African languages
Sandiso Ncobo: isiZulu-English dual-medium instruction pilot course
study at Mangosuthu Technikon
Several other papers outside Rosemary's panel also dealt with related
issues.
During discussions in our panel, the following possibilities were
considered:
(a) That a network be established of interested researchers
(b) That information be distributed to participants in the network on
their projects, dealing with issues such as
(i) the aims of the research projects
(ii) methods used
(iii) progress
(iv) findings and products
(c) That the construction and maintenance of a webpage for the projects
be considered
(d) That funding be sought from PanSALB.
You are hereby invited to submit comments on this proposal and to join
the proposed network.
The persons currently willing to take the initiative are:
Rosemary Wildsmith Cromarty: wil...@uk...
Vic Webb: vic...@up...
Esther Ramani: ra...@ul...
Michael Joseph: bil...@ho...
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE POSSIBLY INTERESTED IN BECOMING PART OF
THIS NETWORK.
To start the ball rolling, I am attaching the paper I presented at the
conference.
Best wishes
Vic

Hi All, We;ve finally created a build that has solved, we hope, many of the nagging problems we had with previous builds of OpenOffice.org for Windows. Please look here for download instructions: http://www.translate.org.za/blogs/dev/2006/11/openofficeorg-20-builds/ We appreciate testing. Especially in these areas: * All languages should be installed by default * Check that Afrikaans and South African English spell checkers are installed correctly by default * Check that dictionary wizard is installed Translation related errors please make a note of these. We still need to get pootle.translate.org.za to catch up with us :) Happy testing and please try this soon as we'd like to push this out as the official build for download from Translate.org.za -- Dwayne Bailey Translate.org.za +27-12-460-1095 (w) +27-83-443-7114 (cell) |

Hi everyone This maybe silly of me to be asking. Or, maybe I have been too pre-occupied with other things. Please forgive me for my ignorance. I have been trying to get my documents in landscape. I followed the instructions that I got in help, but that did not help. The programme seems to accept the landscape option, when I go to preview and print, the document comes in portrait. What is it that I am missing to do? Zongz --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments. |

OpenOffice.org 2.0 has been released. If you've tried the 1.x series, this is much, much better. With unusually good timing I've managed to get South African builds of all our latest translations produced the next day. You can download them from here: http://translate.scir.sjsoft.com/download/openoffice.org/OOo-2.0.0-20051020/ University of Pretoria has kindly offered to host files for us so these files will move there soon (at the moment its my home machine so access will be fairly slow) Currently there are only Windows builds but as soon as I persuade it to build rpms on Linux they will be there too. Note that the icon set on Windows is (fairly) ugly and shortly to be replaced. You can install the language packs on top of a standard OpenOffice.org 2.0 installation. This is really nice if you just want the standard install translated into your language. We'd like to do testing following the QA tests: http://qa.openoffice.org/testcase/ Please use the translate-discuss mailing lists for your language (on the right of http://www.translate.org.za/) to report back on this. Next up for me is to integrate some translate.org.za branding, dictionaries and spell checkers, etc. David PS the above is on the web here: http://www.translate.org.za/blogs/david/archives/2005-10-21T12_04_29.html |

Hi, I'm trying to get a Sotho translate@thon going. Preferably involving a University. If you can help me with contacts or help facilitate such an event then please lets discuss it. A Translate@thon is an all day translation event where we get volunteer; language people, computer people and just ordinary people into one room with computers and we translate a piece of software into Sotho. Its great fun and we've already hosted Xhosa and Zulu events. -- Dwayne Bailey <dw...@tr...> Translate.org.za +27-12-460-1095 (w) +27-83-443-7114 (cell) |
