Hi translators,

I'm Maren, one of the people who work on improving the Inkscape website.

I'd like to invite you to officially join the website translation team,
if you are not part of it already (and if you are, to say so, because
I'm not at all sure that everyone I send this message is really a
translator).

Some of you already have translated parts of the website, but as the
website evolves, there's always something to be done - we need your
expertise in your language!

The last months have brought a lot of change to the website inside and
outside. There are new features, and there is a lot of new contents (and
some new bugs, too...).

If you want to help, I would like to ask you to primarily focus on three
things:

1.) The Support Us page and subpages (we are planning a Donation
campaign to start soon, and especially need French and Spanish translations)

2.) The About section (The board plugin can't currently be translated.
If you want to translate the biographies, copy from German, where I
made a html source copy of the board plugin.)

3.) The Download section (so it is prepared for the next release - when
that comes, you will only need to exchange some numbers and links)
Many of the other pages, especially the FAQ and the Community, Learn and
Contribute pages, are currently being changed and edited a lot, so those
may need to wait until they are 'stable'.

Django-CMS is, unfortunately, a bit delicate about its revert, undo and
history functions - and there have been changes to the system some of
you may not be aware of.

This is why it's suggested to first read the guide I made for you:

http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite

and then to get yourself an account at http://staging.inkscape.org, and
play a bit around to try it all out (don't edit pages with names
starting with 'Brynn', please, they are drafts for the main website).

Some of you may not have all the permissions necessary - please send a
message to the translators' mailing list (containing your user name!) if
you need permissions for staging / for the live website.

It would be good to know who translates to which language, so we can
coordinate who is working on which page, to avoid simultaneous editing
and loss of people's work ;)

Also, if you have any questions, encounter problems or have suggestions,
just write to the translators' mailing list - it's been far too calm
there for a while, and we should change that :)

Hope to hear from as many of you as possible ;) ,
 Regards,
  Maren
