This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_EVvkgH69S4gV+HDiJkKtkg) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi Martin, I am responsible for managing community translations, so a very big welcome! :-) The Czech community has not been very active - even though the Platform is 100% translated, a check of the quality would be good and some improvements most probably needed. ..And you are right that the 3 Czech contributors are not active now, I did not get any answer from them either when I contacted them a year or so ago. We are about to start Platform translations this week, so you will be very welcome to review and/or update the content. If you would like to contribute to web-content, this is also very much appreciated. The reason why there is no column for Czech is that the number of columns on that page is limited, so we only mention the most translated languages. Let me know which pages you would like to start with (you can give me a list of links) and I will send you further instructions how to translate. All translation contributors use an interface for translations called CTI (Community Translation Interface), which can be found here: http://translate.sun.com/opencti/ Also, there's further info on the NB localization project on this page: http://nblocalization.netbeans.org/ Thanks and please get in touch, will be very good to have you on the team! :-) Ahoj, Petra Martin Rendl wrote: > Hello, > > first of all, I would like to explain the reason, why I am writing.
