Off-topic: Translators wanted for opensource

G'day everyone

I noticed that this project is quite active on Source Forge,
and for 
that reason I'd like to tell you about our translation
project.  I'm 
also hoping that some of you might be able to help us with
translations 
or ideas.

The project is called Decathlon because we want to encourage
people who 
feel passionate about their language to translate up to ten
or more 
opensource programs into their languages in 2008.  This
year, we limit 
our selection of translated programs to applications aimed
at end-users, 
and preferably programs that run on multiple platforms.

All translations are done in our web-based translations
system, Pootle. 
  The value of Pootle is that a team of translators can work
together on 
a single file.  Pootle also has quality checking features,
to ensure 
that translations don't break the software they are used in.
  Pootle 
requires the Gettext PO format, but we can convert certain
other formats 
to and from PO.

More information about the Decathlon project can be found
here:

Our Pootle server is here:

n.org/

I look forward to hearing from anyone who is interested. 
You are 
welcome to pass this e-mail on to anyone you think may be
interested.

Sincerely

Samuel Murray
Decathlon project leader
