[maemo-developers] Maemo localization to officially non-supported languages

[From: Jordi Mas]

Hello folks,

I would like to explore the possibility of localizing  Nokia N800 user
interface to languages that are not currently localized by Nokia itself[1].

It seems technically possible to localize the different components to
other languages since all the infrastructure is based on intltool and
seems very well internationalized.

Is there any way to translate the UI into a language not supported
directly by Nokia?

If not, I would be possible from the community to localize the different
individual PO files, build a deb pack for this language and deploy it?
This is obviously from a localization point of view without exploring
internationalization issues. I think that it would be cool to have a
repository of community supported translations that can be installed
using a single package that localizes the main components.

Best Regards,
