Translate.org.za Development Blog

Translate.org.za recently decided to work more closely with the upstream OpenOffice.org localisation process. In many ways this is partly because OpenOffice.org will be adopting Pootle to allow online translation for all localisation projects. But also because we’d like people going to the OpenOffice.org site to know about the Afrikaans translations.

As a result of this we now have our own Afrikaans project website which is directly accessible from the multilingual OpenOffice.org download page.

We are also now part of the official build process for localized efforts of OpenOffice.org and the first Afrikaans build already appeared in one of the recent 2.3 milestones.

The purpose of these builds are to allow testing of the localizations, so feel free to install and test this. We value your feedback.

We are still committed to providing our multilingual builds, but will either work a way to integrate those into the current process or build them as needed following official releases.
