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:

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

Simp Chinese
