Two new locales have just been added to the official “Download” page: http://kompozer.net/download.php

The Ukrainian one is mainly (only?) the result of Andriy Radyk’s work. He’s done the whole translation on Narro pretty quickly before taking the time to check his langpack carefully in KompoZer itself. Thanks Andriy!

The Brazilian locale is the work of many contributors — Narro can be frustrating for us, but it sure rocks when distributing the work load among several contributors. Unfortunately, and despite the fact that there were only 60 strings to translate, there hasn’t been any activity on this locale lately. So Cédric has decided to take the untranslated strings (all related to the CSS Editor) from the Portuguese langpack: as these strings are very technical, we've supposed there won't be any problem, but let us know if there's a mistake.

We’re still looking for a Brazilian contributor to review and maintain this langpack: please ping us if you want to contribute.

Jaroslav Krejčí (aka “JardaK”) has just submitted a Czech language pack for KompoZer 0.8.

We’ve imported the strings from the langpack JardaK did for KompoZer 0.7.10 and added the Mozilla 1.8 strings. Then, JardaK has translated all the new strings and fixed a few problems we had in the previous version.

As a result, there are now Czech builds of KompoZer 0.8b3 on the official download page for Windows, MacOSX and GNU/Linux. Thanks a lot JardaK!

Note: most of the langpacks we had for KompoZer 0.7.10 have been upgraded to 0.8 by now, but we’re still missing the Brazilian (pt-BR), Slovak (sk) and Bulgarian (bg) ones. Feel free to drop a message if you want to upgrade one of these langpacks. ;-)

Update (2010-03-15): the above note could be misunderstood, let’s clarify:

• the Brazilian langpack is almost ready (~70 untranslated strings)
• the Bulgarian langpack is in progress (> 500 untranslated strings)
• nobody’s working on the Slovak langpack yet

Note that Narro allows several contributors to work on the same language pack simultaneously.

For the 0.8 branch, Cédric Corazza (l10n lead) has decided to publish localized builds instead of just proposing cross-platform langpacks. Not as easy as it seemed… but the new “Download” page is ready.
