Dear Sugar Labs/OLPC/eToys/AbiWord Community Localizers, The GNU Library of C functions (glibc) is an important element of our software stack as it is in many Linux distributions. There is a new release of glibc (2.17) coming out in the next few weeks. http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ One of the key roles of glibc is as the home of the glibc locales that are the means by which languages are selected in various places, like for instance, the Sugar Control Panel. If your language does not have a glibc locale, I'd be happy to work with you on developing and submitting one. Users don't necessarily see a lot of these strings in the UI, but it is an important community to reach to with translation contributions. They host their L10n work on the Translate Project web-site: http://translationproject.org/domain/libc.html Please check the status of your favorite language at the link above and follow their procedures for submitting additional L10n of libc-2.17-pre1.pot if any more work is needed. If your language is not represented on the libc Translate Project site, please download and work from the POT file off-line: http://translationproject.org/POT-files/libc-2.17-pre1.pot If you would like to have your team working on it collaboratively over time and would like to have temporary hosting of the libc PO file on Pootle, let me know and I will set it up. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Warmest Regards, cjl Sugar Labs Translation Team Coordinator
