Re: [glob2-devel] French translation

[Kyle Lutze]

you are definitely on the right list! I believe a lot of work has been on the game itself, but the website & documentation is definitely lacking. If you want to start on that,
http://globulation2.org/wiki/Fr:Main_Page
basically any page if you want to translate it add Fr: in front of it, so 
one of the first links on the French homepage is to [[Screenshots]] (if you understand mediawiki markup), but if you feel like translation the screenshots page to [[Fr:captures d'écran]] and update that link, things like that would be awesome.
We use the same software as Wikipedia, so if you are not familiar with how the editing works, 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents/Editing_Wikipedia is a very good place to start.
I'm sure NCT, the leader of the project, will speak up soon too. I must get back to homework now.

Thanks for offering your help,
cheers,
Kyle

Subject: [glob2-devel] French translation

Bonjour,

I am pleased to join the list.
I hope I didn't mistaken and joined the right one.
My purpose is to give a hand to translate Glob2/documentation/website
or whatever in French if not done by anybody else yet or in addition
if needed.

- Am I on the right list for that ? If not please accept my apologizes and tell me where should I go.
- If yes, please can somebody point me to existing French translators so that I see with them what
remains to be done, if any ?

Many thanks.

For presentation :
I am a freelance web developer specialized in XML/XSLT/PHP and multi-linguale sites.
For 10 years now I have been evaluating every year a different Linux distro, waiting for the proper
moment to switch from Windows to Linux. In the beginning it was not in pare with Windows for a family
desktop usage. But it was improving enough fromyear to year to keep me trying. During this time I
carefully switched most of my software to cross-plateform equivalents in preparation for the day I
would switch the OS : first OpenOffice, then Firefox, then Inkscape, then Gimp. Next will be
Thunderbird and Sunbird.
In January 2007 I tested OpenSuSE 10.2 and found out that it had reach
the level of quality and number of packages I expected, and switched my family PC to this distro,
never coming back to Windows. I cannot yet switch my work station for lack of some critical
soiftwares.
I now want to actively promote Linux and give a hand. I evaluated the weakness of that OS and found
out that, apart the installation mess (nearly as many package system than distros, this is really a
shame) and the media copyright problems (lack of support out-of-the-box for DVDs and codecs), the
only remaining weak point of Linux is the game area. This is the reason why, after evaluating several
games, I offer my help to Glob2.
I have done various translations from 'en' to 'fr' for various projects in the past.
