[arch-general] Arch Translation Day, vol 2
Hi, the Arch Translation Day was mentioned last month on arch-events ml [1], but really, who reads it :) And because last month not many people participated (because of exam period) we decided to give it another shot when more people might have time. Here in Czech republic we have quite a huge and strong community of Arch users and there is also considerable amount of people who don't speak English well enough to fully understand some articles. Thefore we decided to do Arch Translation Day and translate the most important articles to Czech. Of course, there's no need to make an event in order to create new translations and improve wiki, but massive action will probably attract more people and the result will be better. And when this action can help to improve Czech articles on wiki, why couldn't we call it for another languages too, huh? :) The idea is quite simple: pick an wiki page in whatever language you speak and translate it to your mother language (or any other language you speak too), primary focusing on pages about important issues (beginner's guide, official installation guide, articles about DEs, graphic drivers etc). The event will happen this weekend (5th-6th), and we hope that the result will be the Best Distribution Wiki(tm). Happy translating :)) PS: Pierre mentioned inter-wiki setup, but first someone would have to do it (and I belive only devs can?). When this is set up, it's no problem to migrate the articles to their respective wikis. Dan [1] http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-events/2011-January/000358.html
