[zh-l10n] RE: [i18n-chinese] Hello! everyone.

Hi, Allen Glad you reply quickly. Have anyone in this mail list working on the translation of GNOME' interface, As many people reach the GNOME, interface is what them first see. The manual is a rich information resource about different Linux distributions, but it's too big. I am admire what you are doing. In mainland, some people start working on translation of man-pages also. Yulun -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~> eLerts It's Easy. It's Fun.

Hi, Wang Jian: I am happy to meet you! What about progress of GNOME's messages? And how many people working on this? Have any arrangement? Need help? I can share your works. Do you have any list of translation status? As same as GNOME's? Wu Yulun -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~> eGroups eLerts It's Easy. It's Fun.

Hi. Allen I don't know why the speed is too slow when I visit your site(from mainland). I want to know: You are work only for Mandrake? not GNOME desktop and other softwares? I get know from GNOME's translation status the working is less 30% on zh_CN. I think to improve it. Yulun -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~> eLerts It's Easy.
