Exciting translator stories for release notes

[Danilo Segan <dsegan gmx net>]

Ok, fellow translators, apparently, we've managed to misguide the  
release team to include some i18n info in the official release notes  
for Gnome 2.4, so we're considering making it a bit more spectacular.


The idea is to provide one or two "interesting" stories of how a  
certain translating team performed, and achieved what they did. Because  
of this, I'd limit the entries to all the supported languages (every  
language with 80%+ translated 'essential' strings prior to Gnome 2.4  
release -- 25 languages at the moment), but if you're translating to a  
partially supported language (50%-80%), and have a wonderful story to  
share, please don't be sidetracked, and do post it.

I'm not sure on the criteria for choosing the story, but I'd go for  
making it an "open voting" on this mailing list. I'd suggest making the  
stories replies to this message, with subject clearly indicating a  
language (eg. using a language code), and votes for any particular  
story as replies to stories, preferably including more info in either  
subject or contents (because some non-gnome ;-) mail clients use the  
incorrect 'in-reply-to' header).

I'll post a sample Serbian translation team story, but I'm not setting  
the style or anything -- feel free to write your own story as you see  
fit.


I'm looking forward to all the great stories that are behind the  
translation teams -- don't hesitate to write a couple of lines on all  
the ups and downs you experienced.

If all the stories come up interesting, I'm hoping we can get a  
paragraph or two for every supported language.

Cheers,
Danilo
