Leila E Translations – the Final Push!
Code freeze for Leila E has come and gone but we’re still not finished with our translations. We need to have all our translations completed. Help us ship Mifos with versions for French, Spanish, Chinese, and Portuguese.
Our Translation Sprint two weeks ago provided a great spurt and needed boost to our efforts. Thanks to all the members of the Translatewiki.net and Mifos communities for participating. We had over 1000 messages translated that weekend and more than 3500 messages translated in total since. We’ve also yielded some good traction on new languages like Bengali, Burmese, Tegulu, Tagalog, Interlingua, German, Breton, Norwegian, Macedonian, and Dutch.
Special thanks to: Verdy P (French), Julio Martinez (Spanish), Beria Lima (Portuguese), Kazi S. M. Faysal (Bengali), Veeven(Telugu), B. Jankuloski (Macedonian), Kghbln (German), Siebrand (Dutch), Jon Harald Søby (Norwegian), McDutchie(Interlingua)
Here’s what we have left and how you can help.
