Dutch translation sprint

Sunday, February 17, 2008 ★ 22:30 ★ Category Gnome

Today, the Gnome-NL folks organized a translation sprint for Gnome 2.22: a so-called vertaalspurt in Dutch. Five of us brought laptops to my place, and while enjoying some beer and Italian food we boosted the Dutch translation statistics up to 88% for the complete Gnome 2.22 desktop. Many of the untranslated strings are in the development tools suite, and since those are not so important from a l10n perspective anyway, we’re using our limited resources to focus on the other module sets.

The list of modules updated today is quite impressive, if you ask me. In alphabetical order, I present you: cheese, dasher, devhelp, eog, file-roller, gdl, gdm, gedit, gnome-applets, gnome-control-center, gnome-media, gnome-nettool, gnome-power-manager, gnome-session, gnome-system-monitor, gnome-utils, gnome-volume-manager, gtk-engines, gucharmap, gvfs, libgnome, libgnomekbd, libgweather, metacity, nautilus-cd-burner, orca, seahorse, sound-juicer, tomboy, totem, and yelp.

We have plans to update the remaining modules in de desktop and development platform to 100% before the Gnome 2.22 release, so expect a fully localized Dutch Gnome desktop in the near future. We did it before, and we will do it again!
