I'm from Ukraine, and Ukrainian is also a Slavic language like Russian (so we can usually communicate in Russian) but a different one anyways (so different translations are needed); welcome to discuss related issues. > My suggestion is: > -> We begin the development of a new sisyphus (or the > integration of current) for multiple languages (Russian, > English, Portuguese, Spanish, etc...) I'd think of integration and maybe a metabug for those. > -> Center of Development (Language mother) in English > (so that everyone can understand) Don't think that will be feasible; OTOH judging on PLD experience (pld-linux.org, mother language of most developers is Polish but one can find e.g. Jeff Johnson of RPM fame in pld-devel-en@) multi-lang development environment is doable. > -> Start of development fast :) Well, I've seen quite a few i18n packages related to Spanish and Portuguese Brasilian support already. You could probably first describe what's wrong on a freshly installed desktop somewhere at http://en.altlinux.org, form a TODO list and start working on it -- shouldn't be neccessarily fast but hope will be productive. :) -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/
