We have already been working on translating KDE4, although it has been a slow
process (Translators needed). What discourages the most when translating IT
related materials is the lack of a unified jargon which we strive to
ellaborate with http://wiki.arabeyes.org/Technical_Dictionary . Otherwise,
translations are incomprehensible and not coherent, and the translators' work
becomes harder.
KDE4 promises more cross-platform applications, running on Windows and Mac,
making a wider range of applications to be included in this open CD.
What kind of applications do you want to include?
