[Mageia-dev] [Mageia-i18n] Call for translators

Sun Dec 18 12:09:58 CET 2011

Hi, all. I also wish we could find translators for all languages but I'm
+afraid this is not very realistic. Instead I suggest a bit softer solution.
+We replace word Mandriva with Mageia were we can in bootloader *.po files
+and mark those strings fuzzy. I can offer my help for that to the extend of
+my abilities.
+
+
+Thanks for Alpha 2 and happy holidays,
+Filip.
