[[TF-dev]] Files available in CTI & Community NB 6.8 IDE Translation Contest!

Dear all,

You can start translating for NB 6.8 final integrations - files are 
available for translations in CTI and OpenCTI:
https://translate.sun.com/opencti/
https://translate.sun.com/cti/

We created the below files for the following languages:
*NetBeans_6.8_properties_platform* > Arabic, Chinese Traditional, Czech, 
Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian
*NetBeans_6.8_properties_platform_javase* > Catalan, Dutch, French, 
German, Italian, Korean, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish (+Galician in OmegaT)
*NetBeans_6.8_msghtml_javase* > Catalan, Dutch, French, German, Italian, 
Korean, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish (+Galician in OmegaT)

Thanks a lot to those who have already started and I think we have some 
first candidates for the prizes below! :-)

We will pick up files for integration for RC1 on *Thursday night - 
11/19*, but all the projects will stay in CTI and you can go on 
translating at your own pace.
For final NB 6.8 FCS build,  we will pick up files for integration on 
*Wednesday 12/02*.

Thank you for contributing! :-)
Petra
