Hi there! I thought it would be nice to tell you how many downloads of the various translation files there were. This is for the period of April 13th to yesterday: In the first column you find the tarball name and in the second the number of downloads. Some languages have more than one tarball. es-4.6.0.tar.gz 530 de-4.6.0.tar.gz 322 ru-4.6.0.tar.gz 236 zh-hans-4.6.0.tar.gz 209 fr-4.6.0.tar.gz 201 de-4.7.0.tar.gz 185 pt-br-4.6.0.tar.gz 180 it-4.6.0.tar.gz 148 nl-4.6.0.tar.gz 136 zh-hans-4.7.0.tar.gz 134 cs-4.6.0.tar.gz 109 es-4.7.0.tar.gz 94 hu-4.6.0.tar.gz 93 pl-4.6.0.tar.gz 84 zh-hant-4.6.0.tar.gz 71 sv-4.6.0.tar.gz 70 ca-4.6.0.tar.gz 68 pt-pt-4.6.0.tar.gz 67 it-4.7.0.tar.gz 66 nb-4.6.0.tar.gz 54 ja-4.6.0.tar.gz 44 id-4.6.0.tar.gz 43 ar-4.6.0.tar.gz 43 da-4.6.0.tar.gz 42 sk-4.6.0.tar.gz 42 fi-4.6.0.tar.gz 41 nl-4.7.0.tar.gz 38 bg-4.6.0.tar.gz 37 cs-4.7.0.tar.gz 37 de-cvs.tar.gz 37 im-cvs.tar.gz 36 ro-4.6.0.tar.gz 35 he-4.6.0.tar.gz 35 lt-4.6.0.tar.gz 33 el-4.6.0.tar.gz 32 sl-4.6.0.tar.gz 32 sr-4.6.0.tar.gz 29 uk-4.6.0.tar.gz 28 et-4.6.0.tar.gz 28 fr-cvs.tar.gz 28 zh-hans-cvs.tar.gz 27 pt-pt-4.7.0.tar.gz 26 eu-4.6.0.tar.gz 26 pl-4.7.0.tar.gz 25 gl-4.6.0.tar.gz 24 fa-cvs.tar.gz 23 ar-4.7.0.tar.gz 23 sv-4.7.0.tar.gz 22 es-4.5.0.tar.gz 22 ar-cvs.tar.gz 21 th-cvs.tar.gz 20 af-4.6.0.tar.gz 20 es-cvs.tar.gz 20 gu-4.6.0.tar.gz 19 ca-4.7.0.tar.gz 19 pt-br-cvs.tar.gz 19 fa-4.6.0.tar.gz 19 Cheers, Gerhard

Drupal 4.7
by Gerhard Killesreiter 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

Hi there! As you might have noticed, we have released the fourth release candidate for Drupal 4.7 and opened CVS HEAD for new development. This means the actual release date is near and it is high time to get your translations ready for Drupal 4.7. I know that many of you have worked on the CVS branch for now, but it is now time to branch into 4.7. Goba has also created new translation templates which include the latest changes from CVS. If you look at http://drupal.org/translation-status you will find that the centre column is rather empty which means that there is no 4.7 download offered for the corresponding language. You can branch you translation in CVS by doing cd translations cvs tag -b DRUPAL-4-7 my_translation where my_translation is the abbreviation used for your language. If you are unsure about this, contact me off list and I can do this for you. Cheers, Gerhard

Reg. advice on starting a translation project
by Ram Dak 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

Killes, Thanks for responding to my email about starting a Tamil drupal translation. I foolishly disabled mail delivery after subscribing to the list and kept wondering why I hadn't received a reply. Thanks for all the initial pointers. I will read the handbook page you have mentioned and try and get in touch with the team that translated for KDE, Gnome and Firefox. I guess the best thing to do is simply get started :-) Thanks, Ramdak --------------------------------- Get amazing travel prices for air and hotel in one click on Yahoo! FareChase

Advice on starting a translation project
by Ram Dak 27 Apr '06

27 Apr '06

Hi, I would like to initiate and oversee (and possibly sponsor) the development a translation of Drupal into my native language Tamil, one of the many languages of India. It is spoken by about 65 million people all over the world. I have been with Drupal for about 15 months, but have no idea whatsoever about translation and would appreciate advice on how to get this rolling. Should I apply for a CVS account? Should I concentrate on the core platform first? What about contrib modules? Should I start from scratch or use the stuff done by a few already? Thanks in advance, Ramdak --------------------------------- New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC and save big.

It's possible the list filtered it, it's available at: http://www.gimehost.com/6pehF2vUlshFy4XIZPKG And for those with admin access on drupal.org: http://drupal.org/newsletter/2006/april They should both be nearly identical.
