It might only be free for one though, it is handy, crowd-sourcing for translations is brilliant.

translating in Italian... how do I send it to you?

have no facebook and dont want to register but a few corrections to the german translation:
Suggestions/Complaints? - Vorschläge/Beschwerden ("Forschläge" is missspelled)
add to - hinzufügen (i dont know if its context related but "zufügen zu" is terrible translation)
refresh info - Informationen aktualisieren (refresh info is not german)
Image stored in 'Saved Pictures' as [{0}] - Bild wurde als [{0}] unter 'Gespeicherte Bilder' hinzugefügt ("zugefügt" ist not correct in this sentence)
Continue without phone number? - Ohne Telefonnummer fortfahren (phone wasnt translated)
hope someone can bring this in the translations

I've just checked your BizSaver site and saw that you're almost done with german. If you still need something just hit me with it iam actually from germany.

well...this doesn't work on wm2005...i think so...anyway thanks...
well...the prob was..that i used ivan rom...today i changed to helmi...so this way i could try this...but anyway annoying...the nokia solution was better...
and cell profiler is a very good prog, but not really what i need...i travel alot with train...and sometimes (at night) it would be useful to know, where i am, because of the dark nothin is to be seen...but this prog can only deal with assigned cells (version 1.2)...
thx again...

Greatman, can you share the script?
You can PM me your emailadress and i will add it... I cannot garantuee, that it works, becaus I just check for a special word. If that is kept, then no alarm-mail will be send, but technically it should work.
It's a php script, so simply posting the script wouldn't help you much. In addition it is run by a cronjob... However I'm willing to add you to the mail list will check this thread in about 5 hours, after i got my sleep. Maybe the update is already released by then
Just checked, its almost 9am here in Berlin - nothing posted yet.
Do you guys understand German? Or do you want it just to check out. I wonder if this version will have the ability to change languages. Then what would everyone do with their time...

Languages we should keep

Scoot and I are wanting to pare down the size of the all language Cyanogen release builds. The best way to do that is to obviously remove some languages. These are what we have discussed keeping so far. If you have a need for one that is not listed add a reply with the language you want to keep.
English
Spanish
French
German
Dutch
Italian
Portugeese
Arabic
Romanian
Russian
Polish
Czech
Hebrew
Chineese
Greek
And I know I am missing a few so please do request them!
Does anyone use vietnamese,chineese,japanese or korean? I know typically people in those countries already have phones better than our kaisers lol.
Edit: Due to the large list of languages that we need to keep. I think we should do a Eurasia pack, English,Spanish and French and all languages as per suggestion earlier. That would be do-able.
Part of why its so huge our builds are... well look at english for instance. There are like 10 different versions listed.

stupid question cant we have something like a language pack repository? just like ubuntu? so people could download an androidupdate and use only the language they want?
hi.. i want Czech please

truth
I wanted to go for that idea a long time ago but it doesnt work that way sadly. The support has to be compiled into the framework. So at the time the build is compiled you get to choose what languages but thats it.
thats a shame, this would strip down the builds a lot... ill stay with the eng then

I like the way dzo did for Fresh Froyo, with multiple variants: US (English and Spanish), EU (Euro-languages), and FULL (all languages). My own personal Fresh Froyo build is english only, with one wallpaper, no live wallpapers, and no apps that I can install after installation. A small /system means we can have a larger /data partition.

Looking for peeps to help internationalize my app

Hey guys,
A friend of mind told me that he had good luck posting about his need to get string translations for his app on XDA, so here I am.
I'm the developer of Social Camera, the app that was first to let you upload your own videos to Youtube. In version 2.0 I am adding a slew of new features plus I would like to have translations for any languages I can get. My highest non-English hitters right now are French and German, but I'll take whatever anybody's willing to provide.
Please visit http://www.getlocalization.com/SocialCamera to help out!

I'm not sure what my plan is for the Marketplace entries in all these countries. Do you who are translating the app think there'd be value in also having a translated marketplace entry? or would an all-english one for these locales suffice? Otherwise I'll have to bug you all again for that when I'm ready to publish, or go w/ a Translation service like Bing/Google...
Thoughts welcome.

what I'm getting at is that when you create an app that is multi-lengual, when you submit the app to the marketplace you have to create an app listing for each language as well. I think I may go for auto-translate w/ that, unless people show willingness to help out there.
To those that have said they'll help w/ translations, just post your completed xlsx back to this thread, or e-mail it to me at [email protected]
thanks!

looks like windows phone only supports one type of spanish, will this work for "es-ES" as it's shown on that table, or does it fit another language better?
Sure, it will be nice for es-ES. Not exactly the way people talk in Spain but I have no doubt it should be well understood.
Here is a bulgarian translation. I have to review it when the application is out and correct it.
I can help with the Market, when it's available in Bulgarian language, too.

wow, my apologies man - i went to look at which culture specifier to use for bulgarian and see that it's not on the list! I don't assume, either, that it'll work for another language ... sorry for the confusion! maybe if WindowsPhone supports bulgarian in the future I'll be able to incorporate it, though
I'll send you italian as soon as I can... Just quote Mattias Cibien (me) in the credits

Looking for translator volunteers for GPS Calculator

GPS Calculator is an absolutely free application (also ad-free) that is a very powerful tool to do anything related to GPS coordinates, calculating area, distance, projecting and converting. New version also supports UTM.
http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=4e06928a-de12-e011-9264-00237de2db9e
The app is currently translated into English, French and Russian. Would you like to contribute to make it even better and provide translations to other languages too?
Please let me know.

Thank you for advice! Yes, all names of translators who helped me are going to be included in the app!
Google docs is easy, here it is:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqYsgvGHD0D2dGhIRTFjcm9zdER4ODRFeFFiWHYzemc#gid=0
but personally I think google docs is a bit harder to manage, compared to resource files.
