A couple of points on L10n. 1) There has been a little more string churn, so please check your languages again for additional strings. Chances are there are some fuzzy strings that have to do with punctuation and stuff, they should be quick to resolve and submit. http://translate.sugarlabs.org/projects/AbiWord/ 2) As Prashant announced: http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/2012/Aug/0028.html We'll be switching from plain vanilla NSIS to Unicode NSIS http://www.scratchpaper.com/ The good news: This will allow us to support a full range of languages and their scripts in localizing our Windows installer via the NSH files posted in the AbiWord project on Pootle (Windows_Installer_.nsh_strings.po). The eventually good news: Just to be clear about how this works, AbiWord's NSH file is used by Unicode NSIS, which has it's own strings that need to be localized. If your language name appears in the list down below, the Unicode NSIS upstream is already localized, if it does not, the upstream strings will need to be localized and submitted upstream so that Unicode NSIS can support your language. That is why I call this the "eventually good news". If your language is set up in our Pootle instance, but is not listed as being localized upstream, I will be setting up some PO files for you to complete so we can submit them upstream, this will obviously take some time to trickle back downstream into AbiWord, but it will also make it possible for others to create localized Window's installers for the other packages that use Unicode NSIS. Uncode NSIS is used by other projects for their Windows installer: http://www.scratchpaper.com/home/shameless-promotion That's a bunch of Mozilla stuff, Open Office, etc., we might want to have them add AbiWord to that list. The Unicode NSIS people have a forum to post translations and we'll see if they accept the PO files as-is or if they'll require having them formated into their .nlr and .nsh formats. If so, I may ask for some help with that. http://forums.winamp.com/forumdisplay.php?f=159 cjl Unicode NSIS Langs (already localized) Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Basque, Belarusian, Bosnian, Breton, Bulgarian, Catalan, Cibemba, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Efik, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Farsi, Finnish, French, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Igbo, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Kurdish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Macedonian, Malagasy, Malay, Mongolian, Norwegian, NorwegianNynorsk, Pashto, Polish, Portuguese, PortugueseBR, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, SerbianLatin, SimpChinese, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, SpanishInternational, Swahili, Swedish, Thai, TradChinese, Turkish, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Valencian, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yoruba
