Re: My reply to hicham about translation

["Youcef Rabah Rahal" <yrrahal42 at hotmail dot com>]

Salam,

Sorry for starting a new thread but my poor old netscape that I use at work 
can't handle UTF-8 strings...

I think we need ---very quickly--- (what about one week as a deadline ?) to 
name people who will to work on KDE translation. From yesterday's emails I 
can tell (in alphabetical order):

1- Hicham Amaoui.
2- Mohamed Aser.
3- Youcef Rahal.
(If I understand well, Arafat prefers to stay on gnome translation,
isn't it Arafat ?).

Who else ???

Also, and maybe it's only an option, it will be fine that people say the 
amount of work that they can put in the translation effort. This can give an 
idea about the amount of work to give to each translator. Of course, this 
should not be written in stone since people have other occupations and their 
commitment may vary. For myself, I already said that I could give about 2 
hours/week insha Allah. I don't know what's the equivalent in term of number 
of strings/week since I didn't start it yet.

Also, I have a question: is there a translation coordinator ? Isam, are you 
still the coordinator ? If not, I see it necessary to name one, who has been 
already working on the translation for a long time and has already a big 
experience with it, and has a clear idea about the nature of the work and 
its difficulties. I see it at least necessary in order to share the tasks 
(since he can see what kind of work to give to each translator depending on 
their commitment capabilities) and supervise the translation progress.

People, any ideas ?

Salam,

Youcef.

PS: Sorry if some of these questions have already been raised and debated 
(In fact, I really don't know if it is the case). But I am new to the 
translation and please believe in my goodwill :))
