Hi Xaviju,

I was even discussing with Marién, who is the author of this thread originally, and I was thinking if it is too crazy or too much work to license this work in a way that it could also be reused by Scribus/Audacity folks as well... those are other nice programs that also suffer from not-so-good-looking-UI-despite the really useful features. Like OpenToolbars. Or something...

If this idea is too broad or too much hassle we can focus exclusively on Inkscape.

I guess for most of the designers some of this technologies are just far away. Even more if the have to figure out by themselves where and how to start. 
What about some basic onboarding process or mentorship for people willing to contribute to the Inkscape interface? Is there already something like that? Will somebody be interested in doing that introduction? Is just a crazy idea?

- Yes, indeed that would be helpful.

PT_BR seems to be only translated at a meagre 48 % (for inkscape-docs
plus Inkscape program).

Here's info on where to find the various po files:
