[sword-devel] Localisation of front-end apps

[David Haslam]

I think all of us need to become more proactive in acting as ambassadors for recruiting front-end localisation volunteers.

Each of us must have a growing list of international contacts, so it's something we should remember to ask them where appropriate and as such opportunities arise in our other communcations.

It won't happen unless we put in some concerted efforts through our personal networking.

Best regards,

David

As far as I'm aware, not a single new translation resulted from this.  Several of the existing translations are simply decaying slowly over time as the code changes; every time a new dialog or warning or label is added that no one translates, the translations get worse.  I have no idea how to induce would-be translators to enter and take part, even though one of Xiphos' Help selections is an explicit invitation for such translators.
