Recently, Koen has asked about writing a Dutch translation of Mahara. I said I'd write some wiki documentation about what's involved, and I've made a start, but it's not complete yet.

There is the Language Packs section of the docs, which half-describe a lot of things about translating, but need to be finished off. I just started an article on Translating and Git, which gives a beginner's introduction to it, but hasn't got far enough to explaining how it works for translators.

Feedback would be welcome, especially if someone wants to continue the document(s)?

Koen - if you're ready to begin, I can create you a repository and try and dig out some instructions from an e-mail I sent to one or two of the other translators.

Jonas - you just need to send through a .zip file every now and again with your updated translation and we can handle the rest.

The other bit of news is that the Translations forum has been moved into this group, as I'm sure everyone has noticed . I had to shift it in the database, so I hope nothing is broken as a result!
