Instead of installing specific programs for everything I use my girlfiend
gedit, which is IMO the best software ever. <3

I took a look at Pootle and it could be an interesting thing (I didn't knew
it before, thanks!).

I uses GNOME in esperanto. I don't know sincerely how many people are
translating it but I think that an easier participation and an easier way to
talk about translation models means a quick translation of all applications.
GNOME in esperanto (but not only) is much less translated than softwares in
Launchpad. So I think that it could be more efficient a translation with
server-side software like Launchpad, Pootle or other
