Hello, world,
So far the internationalization project is off to a good start.
We've got people in the DE, ES, and FR locales (at a minimum)
working on translating the utility message files.
Since there are more than 200 bin, usr.bin, sbin, and usr.sbin
utilities, the more people, the better.
I'm taking care of the guts of the i18n stuff. This includes
modifying the Makefiles, creating the nls/ tree with its message
files, and modifying the *.c files so that the messages can
work correctly. By hand, I've demonstrated three of the utilities
so far. Automation tools and help from a number in the
international community have proven another 8 or 10. To date
20-some utilitites are ready to go.
By year-end I'd like to have approximately 100 done and alpha-tested.
This means having more people who are interested in the project
join us.
I'm aiming the completed task to be acceptable to the entire BSD
community, Free, Net, and OpenBSD...and beyond that, for anyone
else in the open-source effort.
Interested? Write me at
kline@thought.org
where I'm doing the majority of the work.
thanks,
gary kline
