Re: Elug Digest, Vol 5, Issue 12 - Joomla translations for Southern African websites

Dear Sir

Thank you for your efforts!

Please advise whether you would be able provide south african language
files for a website translation tool that converts all the text on a
page into another language.

We work with a content management system called "Joomla"
(www.joomla.org.za), and we would love for the system to be
translatable into all SA's official languages.

If you view the Joomla SA'n portal (www.joomla.org.za) you will find a
site translation tool on the bottom of every page, which currently
translates the entire page into German, Spanish, French, Italian,
Chinese, Korean, Japanese and a few other int. languages.

We would like to offer the South African languages for inclusion into
a SA'n version of the extension, should the developer agree to the
request.

We have already negotiated the inclusion of our languages into the
JoomFish translation tool
(http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomfish/), which enables the manual
translation of content, for websites that need to cater for the
international market.

We look forward to your response.
