issues, G Karunakar <karunakar@indlinux.org> -- to visit

For those interested in Konkani (or work in any other small
language) karunakar@freedomink.org recently mentioned:
The starting point for translation is to start with the gnome
glossary, its a collection of most commonly occuring tech terms,
which are used a lot in translations. Work becomes easy if you
have this done first, then po files can be taken up.
You can get the glossary files at
http://www.indlinux.org/downloads/gnomegloss/
Also announce on the gnome-i18n list (see
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/)
Also read a rough howto on doing translations at
http://www.indlinux.org/hindi/gnome/howto.txt
One of Karunakar's preferred quotes:
===========================================================================
A reasonable man adapts himself to the world
An unreasonable man tries to adapt the world to himself
So all progress in the world depends on the unreasonable man - GB Shaw
