RE: [PAL-en] Wolof Transaltion of Pootle

["Don Osborn" <dzo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

[Forward from PAL2 with minor changes to facilitate translation. .Don]

I would encourage others to translate Pootle as Friedel has suggested
(below).  It will have long term benefits that are quite important for your
language because more and more people are using Pootle to make software
translation easier.

Hi Ousmane
The current Wolof translation was done by somebody who took part in a
localisation training workshop (in Accra earlier this year). It was the very
first application that we worked on, and she translated it from French, not
from English. Therefore I am not entirely surprised if it could be improved.
You are free to update the translation at pootle.wordforge.org, and your
updates will form part of the next release of .Pootle. If you log in, you
should have access to translate the files simply and immediately.

Perhaps you are interested in contacting the translator that did the current
translations? She was very friendly and seemed really interested in
localisation. I'll send her details privately to you.

I can recommend that anybody who is interested work on translating Pootle
into their languages. It is fairly easy to translate, and it gives immediate
satisfaction since the interface becomes gradually translated as you work.
Feel free to give it a try: http://pootle.wordforge.org/

If your language is not there, or there are no files listed for your
language, you can write to me to add it.

Keep well
Friedel
