Hej, thats right, there is not "the" Low German, because there are many little differences between the regions of Northern Germany. I am absolutely ok with the use of the language codename "nds"! I was just about to suggesting that there are more than one entries for the same real language! The url of the project actually deals with the nds-code (http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/nds), but in the index here: http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/ "nds NFE" referrs to another project-site. I just meant that someone could rename / delete 2 of the entries in the index for the benefit of just one. And my translations are not uploaded to the nds NFE entry, but to the Low German entry. By the way Low German is / was just a spoken language, so there actually is no standard translation you can rely on, that would cover all regions exactly. But the people are able to understand the differences. And I know about your hint with the translations of few-string-files, but I know that I alone will not reach to complete the important translations to the next relaease, so I was just about to show my engagement. But at the moment I am working on nautilus for example! --- Andre Klapper schrieb: Hi, Am Montag, den 24.08.2009, 13:40 +0200 schrieb Nils-Christoph Fiedler:That means, that there are currently 3 "languages" available here: http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/, which all referr to the same language in real life. Currently I am working on the translation for "Low German". So I would commend: 1. Delete the entry "nds NFE" completely from the list here: http://l10n.gnome.org/languages 2. Delete the entry "Low Saxon, Germany" from the list here: http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/ for the benefit of the entry "Low German" someone is really working on (namely me) 3. Save the entry "Low German", which actually is in translating processI'm curious, how do you define Low German? According to ISO-639-2 there is the language code "nds" but as far as I know "the one Low German" does not exist, hence wondering if there are any "standard" low german dictionaries... Also, I'd recommend to start with the most important and visible strings of the basic packages, like gtk+, gnome-desktop and xdg-user-dirs as described in http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/LocalisationGuide#head-006b8d2286e54d97ff6106b012d9f1196e777760 . I can understand that starting with small packages is convenient, but for users the most visible strings are more important. andre |
