We’ve just completed the migration of the translations at pootle.translate.org.za from CVS to Subversion. This now completes our migration off of the translate.sourceforge.net project into our own zaf.sourceforge.net project. This should make it easier to get translations contributed by the community back into Subversion at ZAF.
Finally new Windows builds which should solve all previous problems:
We still need to validate all of this ourselves 
Please download the Windows build and test. Installation should be simple. The package is a self-extracting zip archive and will unpack and begin the OpenOffice.org setup process. The setup process will be in English, or in another language if your locale is setup correctly.
Finally the test builds have arrived. This is mostly what will go into 2.0.0.1, we’ll post links to dev builds once we know where those are located. But for know check ou the builds on our download server.
Afrikaans: Windows installer, language pack
English: Windows installler, language pack
The language packs should work on your current Firefox 2.0.
We’ve also updated our translations for South African English, which will also see the light of day in 2.0.0.1. Some may ask why do we need SA English? Technically we don’t since it should be the same as British English. But having our own gives us a number of flexibilities: we can contribute our South African English spell checker - which is very different from British, it allows us to deviate slightly from British English, iit makes it easier for us to distribute translations and it allows other minor customisations (non done yet) that would be South Africa specific.
Our translation update for Afrikaans that targeted Firefox 2.0.0.1 have been approved. We’re not exactly sure when they will be released but we’ll have test builds up soon.
Community builds for Firefox 1.5.0.8 is now up for download in all 11 official South African languages. Please see our Firefox Downloads page for more information.
After some testing pootle.translate.org.za has finally been upgraded to Pootle 0.10.1. This means more cool features such as project description on the project page, improved documentation, etc.
Last month, October 2006, saw our OpenOffice.org builds downloaded by 254 people. This might not seem like an amazing number. But if you think that each of those people received an office suite at the level of Microsoft Office Professional then we’ve saved our users over R1 million. Lets not forget that not everyone downloads our builds of OpenOffice.org.
On top of this over 500 people are using our keyboard. Almost 400 are using an Afrikaans spell checker and a few 100 are using Firefox or Thunderbird in a language other than English.
