Re: [PAL-en] RE: Google translation for "Google in your language"

[martin.benjamin@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Just to update everyone on this thread, I put Steve in touch with the
person I worked with on Google in Swahili, asking him what needs to
happen to fast-track the Kinyarwanda localization.  He replied quickly
that he is no longer working on languages, but will pass the request
on to "the powers that be."

I will follow up with him after the US holiday weekend, seeing what we
can do to open up a real conversation between those powers and the PAL
partners.

Of course, if you know other contacts at Google or other industry
groups who might be able to help on this project or on our larger L10n
agenda, let's all talk about how to bring them into the wider
discussion.

Cheers,
Martin
