[Bug 278574] New: Nonexistant English translations
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=278574 Summary: Nonexistant English translations Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 4plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Translations AssignedTo: ke@novell.com ReportedBy: benji.weber@gmail.com QAContact: ke@novell.com There are no English versions of most SUSE specific software, such as YaST, kickoff, kwin-suse etc. This makes SUSE software stick out like a sore thumb in an English system. This is a problem as American "english" speakers make up a very small percentage of the world's English speakers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_where_English_is_an_official_.... Having such poor support for a tier 1 language spoken all over the world does not reflect well on openSUSE, especially when all the non-suse software is properly translated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

There are a lot. There's also all the yast branch. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I am an American and do the main work on the texts of the source code. I am not sufficiently familiar with the nuances of BE to do those translations and we haven't had anyone willing or able to maintain them for a while. We had decided it was better not to provide them than to provide what pathetic attempt I could make at them. Thanks for your work! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
