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

Hello,<br>
  <br>
first of all, I would like to explain the reason, why I
am writing. I study at the Czech Technical University and have a
subject open-source programming and within this subject, we are
supposed to take a part in some open source project as our semestral
project. Since I am pretty happy user of Netbeans, I thought that
contributing in this project would be a good idea and I found out that
there are localization teams for various languages etc.<br>
  <br>
So, initialy, I thought I would help with translation of the
program itself and I found out, that there is some 3-man team from
Czech Republic already working on it and according to that project
status, there was a part translated, but not all. However, those
information seems to be rather old and on some other pages (i.e. <a
 moz-do-not-send="true"
 href="http://wiki.netbeans.org/TFL10nCommunityStatus">http://wiki.netbeans.org/TFL10nCommunityStatus</a>)
is obvious, that pretty much most of the stuff is translated. Also, I
tried to contact the guys from the cs translation team, but with no
luck.<br>
  <br>
As I was checking out where else could I take a part perhaps, I
found out, that there are localizations of web-content also, and what
more, that there is nothing at all translated into czech language, at
least according to the status page (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
 href="http://netbeans.org/community/contribute/localisation-status.html">http://netbeans.org/community/contribute/localisation-status.html</a>).<br>
  <br>
So, basicaly, what I was wondering and what I would like to ask
about is, whether you are even interested in making a czech translation
of the web content (seeing there is not even a column for czech
language) and if yes, if I can start translating some of the pages
following the "how to get started" order and such.<br>
  <br>
Also, if this is not the right place to write or if you got any
tips where I could get perhaps more information on this subject, please
tell me, I am rather new to how open source communities work and not
exactly sure, if I should contact someone else or so, since in the list
of language teams (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
 href="http://wiki.netbeans.org/TFLanguageTeams">http://wiki.netbeans.org/TFLanguageTeams</a>)
is nobody mentioned under Czech, there's just link to the translated
Welcome page and through it I unsuccesfully tried to contact the guys
as I mentioned inf second paragraph.<br>
  <br>
Thanks for reading and hopefully for a helpful and positive answer.<br>
