35 language branches are set up for translation of the 0.6.2-stable release.

Languages with relevant amount of translated strings:

We've had some substantial support from translate.org.za (the people that made the Pootle), which lead to two further important languages Sahana is now being translated to (Arabic+Portuguese) - with impressive progress.

To support translators, we're currently working out a translation glossary for Sahana, which contains translation hints, terminology clarifications and all “untranslatable” strings such as technical abbrevations and codes and the like. Beside for application with the Pootle terminology hinting feature (thanks to Samuel Murray for this tipp), the glossary will be published to the Sahana translation Wiki.

It remains a major problem that many messages in the PO template contain typos, ambiguous formulations, uncommon technical terms and abbrevations (e.g. L10N), special codes (e.g. CAP), inconsistent terminology and partly incorrect english, so that the translators from time to time don't even understand what's meant. To solve this, we are currently putting together wish list on these issues, which can soon be discussed with the developers. Improving the quality of the original messages will improve the quality of the translations and will lower barriers for translators, especially if they are not so familiar with the Sahana matter.
