Translation

We would reach a wider audience with parts of the website and announcements translated into major languages. If you can help please add your name and e-mail address here.

• User:Arnulf Christl translates to German and publishes in German language regions (where is the text to translate?)

Issues to resolve

• OCS website management - various configuration and improvements needed, including having mutli-languages (as above) which may not be possible at present. Really we could use some PHP programming help to improve OCS so that it more perfectly suits our needs. Development is active on this project, but they are getting maxed out. (User:Tmitchell)

 Specifics
 * Modules to allow localisation of conference - e.g. travel arrangements, things to do and see
 * Extensibility of the registration module to, for example, capture interests in workshops
 * Float Drop bug in IE - essentially, main column of layout drops beneath the sidebar in IE - easily fixed in the CSS with a:
   * html #main { overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; width: 100%;} statement   (User:gmcferren)
