If I had studied my "Peig Sayers" and "Cith is Dealán" a bit more diligently I might be in a position to contribute some translations myself ;-) To my shame, my own Irish is definitely not up to the task. Presumably you've already hit the ILUG mailing lists looking for volunteers?

Sun are doing de fr it sv es pl ru ja ko zh_CN zh_TW and pt_BR.

I was thinking of handing off the messages "as is" but also making them available merged against the current working branches with new and changed content flagged with comments. We'll provide more information when we put the stuff back.

In the past we have delivered into gnome-i18n and let the various language teams msgmerge content into the module working branches from there. However, I know that gnome-i18n was getting tiresomely sizable and going forward it might be a better idea if we had a separate module (sun-po? sun-i18n?) into which only our po content would go.
