Re: Update on Localisation Style Guides and Glossaries

[Aoife Dunne - Sunsoft ELC <Aoife Dunne ireland sun com>]

Hello All
Thanks to everyone who responded taking ownership to translate the 
glossary once the English is cleaned up.  The responses was great, 
however, I am still missing volunteers for some languages.  I 
understand if a particular team does not have the capacity to take on 
this additional work, but if you could let me know, I will work to 
find a volunteers to represent the language on my side.

We hope to have the English glossary available for translation the end 
of January.


We currently have the following volunteers:

Language		Name			E-mail
English			Rebecca J. Walter	rjp mail tele dk
Danish			Keld			keld dkuug dk 
Danish			Kenneth Christiansen 	kenneth gnu org
Brazilian Portuguese	E. A. Tacão		tacao conectiva com br
Hungarian		Andras Timar		timar gnome hu
Swedish			Christian Rose		menthos menthos com
French

Finnish
Norwegian
Polish
Russian
Japanese 		komatsu			komatsu gnome gr jp
Korean			Woo-Kyong Noh		rainlood kldp org
Simp Chinese
Trad Chinese
Norwegian		Kjartan Maraas		kmaraas gnome org
Catalan			Softcatalà - Jordi Mas	jmas softcatala org
Slovak
etc...


Much appreciated.
