translations problems

Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

Our current status for translations is pretty rough. We support a lot of languages, but few of them are complete translations. See https://translations.launchpad.net/democracy/trunk/+pots/democracyplayer/.

If you look at that page, you'll notice most of the translations haven't been updated and/or are missing strings. Of those translations, the only ones that are complete are English (United Kingdom), Norwegian Nynorsk, and Ukranian.

I think part of the problem is that we don't have a good way of telling people that we need translation updates.

If you're set up to do translation work or know someone who is, please take some time this weekend to update the translations for your language. We're planning a Miro 1.2 release some time next week. Hundreds of thousands of people world-wide will appreciate what you've done.

Also, if there's something that I can do to help make updating translations more timely, let me know.
