Well, ahem.. Let me be more precise.. Just as soon as I have
something for them to translate, then they're needed urgently! :-)
That's why I haven't made much noise about this up to now, but it
occurs to me that I'd better have my contact list well in order now if
I'm have any hope at all for a fast turnaround on translations for
2.0.5.
I'd like to have at least the top level README, and perhaps the
INSTALL guide (both of which I'll be revamping substantially in the
next 24 hours or so) in the following languages:
Dutch, French, German, Danish, Swedish, Russian
The new sysinstall has a menu for setting the language type and will
look first in help/${LANG}/<document> if LANG is set, which the
installer also allows you to do from a convenient menu.
I'm going for only the european languages as I'm not certain I'll be
able to fit the Japanese fonts on the first floppy. I can certainly
do ISO-8859-1, which gets me pretty much all the european ones, and
koi8 is also small. If I *can* manage Japanese then I certainly will,
of course, but I don't even have a syscons font or screen map for it
yet.
Oh yes, anyone helping out with a translation will, of course, receive
a free 2.0.5 CDROM! 2 even! :-)
Any takers? I really won't be needing very much stuff translated
(about 2 pages, max), but I will need it *fast* since I tend to write
all the documentation at the very last minute and won't want to hold
up final production for too long over the translations..
Thanks!
Jordan
