Hi Abel 
and welcome aboard !

Perhaps you would be interested in writing :
howto add to the word list 
or /and howto join the project ? In tetum or improving the english
versions.


Thanks for your translations to date (and for [1]groking my xml :)
I will post them asap.

As you are actually in Dili may I suggest you use the Dili variant(s) of
Tetum and when in doubt use your dictionary.
By the way which dictionary references do you have ... I will try to get
the same.

For the lists info:
1/ Lev is back in Melbourne 
(only he and his deity know his next stop)
2/ I am back in Woodside (Adelaideish) and while there are plans to get
back to Dili it's going to take some time.
I am supposed to be writing a couple of magazine style articles .. you
know "What I did on my holidays" type things
I have written a couple of reports which are being translated into real
english (and censored :) 
I will post them on my home site reasonably soon.

Here is the word list Abel kindly worked on :
I reckon there is enough to get started on the interface translations
(given we sub English for unknown words)
I am really busy for a few more weeks but then I should be able to get
into it.
Its in an XML format .. apologies if it buggers up any html based mail
apps.: (shouldn't)

msgid = message identification msgstr = message string
These are used to identify the strings to be translated within the
source code.
the <p> paragaraph tags are just so it works on the website AOK when I
move it to XML  or xhtml.
(You don't need to submit like this !) It just makes it perfectly clear.
(and perhaps I can write an automated "translator" ... not this week)
Oh I wrapped it at 62 characters wide which is why it look terrible.

Bon noite (?)
