We have two separate translations provided by norwegian users. One said it was new Norwegian (nynorks), the other said it was classic Norwegian (bokmal or riksmal). Renaming the files is not the option. If there are errors in one of them, it must be corrected separately. We know that, in fact, Norwegian has in fact lots of local dialects that are more or less classified between nynorks and bokmal. The perception of the difference between both categories may be different between various areas in Norway. So if you live more in the North, you may think that a southern variant of nynorsk is bokmal, but for people in the south, it is clearly nynorsk and not classical bokmal or riksmal. So please, if yuou intend to work on nynorsk, make corrections to the existing nynorsk file (language code code nn). The default for noewegian is bokmal/riksmal (language code no) as it is the most common variant, and it should preferably be in the more vernacular bokmal rather than the more formal riksmal style. ----- Original Message ----- From: Christian B. B. To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 2:09 AM Subject: [trans] Translation (norway) In your translation "Norsk, Nynorsk (norge)" (Norway), it says that the translation is in 'nynorsk'. That's wrong. The translation is in 'bokmål', not 'nynorsk', and as the cantankerous person I am, I wonder if you could change the name of the translation, to 'bokmål' from 'nynorsk' ? And another thing... Beucause of that mistake, I got inspiration to try translate LimeWire in to 'nynorsk'. I hope that is appropriate, since you don't have a nynorsk translation. Christian B.
