Please forward the following message to your mailing list preferably with a few words of recommendation. As you might or might not know we are developing an IDE for Perl in Perl called Padre. Among other things we would like to make it easily accessible to people who don't know English well. For that reason several people have been translating the GUI of Padre to other languages. Currently there are 15 translations at various levels of completeness. Recently we created a web page that allows us to easily see which languages are there and what is the level of completeness of the translation of Padre itself and that of the over 35 plugins. Currently there are 436 strings in Padre and and additional 150 string int the plugins that need translation. It would be of great help both to our project and hopefully to the local perl newbies to further improve the already existing translations and to translate Padre into other languages as well. You don't have to land all the translation at once, on the stats web page we can track the progress of a translation once it is in our repository. So if you are interested * Current status of the translations: http://www.perlide.org/translations/ * Instructions for translators: http://padre.perlide.org/wiki/TranslationIntro What you need to do is 1) Install Padre 2) Register on http://padre.perlide.org/ 3) check out Padre from SVN 4) Translate the first 50 strings 5) ask for a commit bit on #padre 6) Commit the first batch 7) Keep translating regards Gabor -- Request pm.org Technical Support via support at pm.org pm_groups mailing list pm_groups at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/pm_groups
