Software Translation Deadline Ends

The software translation deadline for nearly all modules in Fedora ended on 21st October 2008. A few special modules like Anaconda would still be updated until prior to release time. Currently, the Fedora Translation Project members are concentrating their efforts on the documents, especially the Fedora Release Notes. The deadline for translations of the GA version of the F10 Release Notes is 13th November 2008[1]

Freeze Breaks

System-config-firewall[12], Comps[13] and Packagekit[14] modules underwent string freeze breaks this week due to feature inclusion and typo correction in the main modules. The maintainers have assured that the packages would be rebuilt to ensure the inclusion of the updated translations.

Missing Language Files for F10 Release Notes Added

Files for a few languages were added in the git repository for the F10 Release Notes by KarstenWade[15]. As a result, translators can easily find relevant files in the translate.fedoraproject.org interface and submit the translations too.
