Is the dutch complete now?

[[Unknown]]

Almost every day language file entries are added and changed, so it won't be done until SMF is done.

[Kris]

Will try to send you some admin durch files next week too...

[Amacythe]

Maybe my table should list up to date instead of complete then?  Let me know how you want this handled please.

[[Unknown]]

Yeah, up to date sounds good...

Hmm... still thinking about some things...

[rolflutz]

A Hindi translation would be nice...

You mean Urdu (which covers a wider spectrum)?

On that note, A.M.A (Arabme) did translate it to Arabic, so is that gonna happen again?

-Behr

You should have both, Hindi and Urdu, though it's the "same" language. While the vocabulary is mainly identical so that Hindi speakers understand Urdu and vice-versa (the chief differences being that legal, religious and philosophic terms tend to be drawn from Persian and Arabic in Urdu against Sanskrit in Hindi), the scripts are completely different, Urdu being written in an adaption from the Persian script and Hindi in Devanagari. Offering only Urdu script would be considered a disregard to the Hindu communities and offering only Devanagari a disregard to the Muslim communities. Furthermore, having only one of the scripts would make it unaccessible to the communities using the other with the exception of intellectuals who are conversant with both scripts.

I don't know if anyone has answered about this, but I can translate from English to European Portuguese.

I have done so for YaBB Gold and adapted it to our currently YaBB SE version.

If you are interested please be free to say so!

PS. I am qualified and do frequent professional work as an English - Portuguese translator. 

[Killer Possum]

HAHA Jive!

Can I do 1337?

[[Unknown]]

Just an update to everyone...

After looking at some things after the first translations, I decided that it would be best to wait until the public beta to ask for translations - primarily because of the number of language file changes happening all of the time.

We'll get back to you guys shortly though .

[Killer Possum]

okie

I was just kiding about the 1337 though

[Owdy]

What happend that translator team idea?

[ivogomes]

Ok. I'll be waiting for the files to translate them into portuguese. Meanwhile I've sent a PM to Andrea with the text for the buttons in portuguese.

[bluesyrio]

Ok, I see IvoGomes has volunteered. I can help anyway if you wish.

[andrea]

For your update: arabic and portuguese button texts are translated. Credits go to A.M.A and Ivogomes.
