[opensuse-translation] Turkmen Translation
Hi, I've wanted to contribute in localization of OpenSuse to Turkmen Language, I've posted mail before (in 2007, http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-translation/2007-12/msg00064.html) but I think replies went to my Spam folder. Yesterday during googling I've found that I really get a response :) sorry for such a big delay. Sorry for my unperfect English :) In responses to my original post Mr. Karl Eichwalder asked if Turkmen Alphabet is similar to latin. Yes it is very similar, we don't use cyrillic anymore since 1995 as I remember. Letters in Alphabet are as inhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkmen_alphabet (not cyrillic) Also there is Turkmen Keyboard layout in Vista, in previous versions of Windows there were no turkmen keyboard and we used program which as I think patched Hungarian Keyboard Layout to be used as Turkmen. So from where I can begin? What can I do? I'm currently studying Electronics and Communication Engineering in Ankara/Turkey. Here are many students which want to contribute to make linux on turkmen.

No problem :) And thanks for your continued offer. You now have commit rights as "mergenchik" and can start with the yast files.

This is good news ;)

Jiri, can you make use of this?
So from where I can begin? What can I do?
Translating two or three yast files would be the best (base, installation, etc.). Then we could start testing. Once this is done, I'll setup the "lcn" hierarchy.
