Yet.<\/p>\n<p>New content on <strong>UserBase<\/strong> is still slow to arrive, but we&#8217;ll talk about that another day.  Today I&#8217;m looking at the position on translations.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t looked lately, you will be surprised to hear that our landing page, <a href=\"http:\/\/userbase.kde.org\/Welcome_to_KDE_UserBase\">Welcome_to_KDE_UserBase<\/a>, is already translated into 30 languages.  Sadly, I can&#8217;t say the same about any other page.  Still, it&#8217;s not all gloom &#8211; there is some nice news too.  Following the suggestion of a member of our localisation team, we have begun the creation of Translation Teams.  This is in the very early stages, but the idea is that Team Leaders will keep an eye on any work done in their language, and provide any guidelines that are language-specific, so that a standard can be maintained.  So far we have nine volunteers (some, army-style volunteered, I&#8217;ll admit \ud83d\ude42 ) and although their teams are very small at the moment, we hope to make more people active in this field.  131 people have registered to do some translation, so there is plenty of room for growth in output.<\/p>\n<p>We now have 392 pages within the translation system.  Let&#8217;s see how some of the languages are faring.  These statistics reflect the number of pages that are wholly or partly translated to the language.<\/p>\n<p>Top of the league are<strong> Ukrainian<\/strong> and <strong>Danish<\/strong>, with all 392 pages translated.  <strong>Yurchor<\/strong> and <strong>Claus_chr<\/strong> have been working hard for us since we first launched the system, and deserve a medal each.  After that, there are:<\/p>\n<ul>Italian 297<br \/>\nSpanish 255<br \/>\nChinese (China) 183<br \/>\nTaiwanese 155<br \/>\nGerman 144<br \/>\nFrench 117<br \/>\nRussian 108<br \/>\nCatalan 92<br \/>\nBrazilian Portuguese 86<br \/>\nDutch 64<br \/>\nRomanian 59<br \/>\nTurkish 40<br \/>\nJapanese 32<br \/>\nIndonesian 31<br \/>\nPolish 28<br \/>\nRusyn 21<br \/>\nPortuguese 20<br \/>\nSwedish 18<br \/>\nGalician 17<br \/>\nCzech 15<br \/>\nFinnish 14<br \/>\nSimplified Chinese 8<br \/>\nKorean 3<br \/>\nBosnian 3<br \/>\nEsperanto 2<br \/>\nHungarian 1<br \/>\nSlovak 1<\/ul>\n<p>Surprised at some of these numbers?  I was. \u00a0Pleasingly, I&#8217;m seeing good growth in Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Taiwanese (one man doing both language variants) and Catalan, but some of the other languages are surprisingly slow.<\/p>\n<p>As always, if you have questions about helping, join us on IRC, #kde-www, or simply leave a message for me on my UserBase Talk page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you haven&#8217;t looked lately, you will be surprised to hear that our landing page, <a href=\"http:\/\/userbase.kde.org\/Welcome_to_KDE_UserBase\">Welcome_to_KDE_UserBase<\/a>, is already translated into 30 languages.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[14,11,6],"class_list":["post-250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kde","tag-kde","tag-translation","tag-userbase"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/lydgate.org\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/lydgate.org\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/lydgate.org\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lydgate.org\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lydgate.org\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/lydgate.org\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":255,"href":"http:\/\/lydgate.org\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250\/revisions\/255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/lydgate.org\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lydgate.org\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lydgate.org\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
