Live GIS Disc Press Release 14

=Two weeks to translate OSGeo-Live documents=

13 February 2011, send to OSGeo-Live translators

OSGeo-Live translators,

We have almost all of our OSGeo-Live project Overviews reviewed and at "4.5final" status, which means they are ready to translate. The remainder should be ready in the next couple of days. (I'm still chasing a few projects).

We now have the opportunity to get these pages translated for the upcoming OSGeo-Live 4.5 release.

The translation process is described here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Translate

For docs to meet our target release, they need to be ready by 28 February, in 2 weeks. I'm hopeful that we can have the following translated: all pages in doc/en/ all pages in doc/en/overview/

I'm not aiming to have standards/ or quickstarts/ translated for this release as they will not be reviewed in time. (I hope to have these included in the following OSGeo-Live 5.0 release in September).

I'd like to hear back from each language community and hear whether you anticipate completing translations within the above timeframe so that we can plan the documentation accordingly.

Feel free to forward this email onto your local communities who may wish to join your translation efforts.

Our OSGeo-Live project overviews are almost all stable, and we now have a number of people translating them to various languages.

If you are bi-lingual, would like to see these marketing docs translated into your local language, and can help out, then we'd love to hear from you.
