I am just wondering whether I can contribute to Inkscape as one of translators. I have experiences in translating several open source software (UI translator) as the main (Indonesian) translator: LyX, Avogadro and JMol.
You're welcome to join. It's courteous to coordinate your efforts with the previous translator of your language (you'll find his email in the .po header), but I don't think he'll object since his last contribution was in 2007.
I have downloded the id.po from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/changes
The link to the latest id.po file is here, please make sure you have the latest version (you probably do): http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/annotate/head:/po/i...
Another question is how can I submit the translated id.po. Can I just send it to this mailing-list or to another email?
The preferred way to submit translations so that they don't get lost is to use the bug tracker at Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape
Please, register in Launchpad, report a new bug against Inkscape and attach your translation. You don't have to finish it 100% to submit it, you attach you file to the same bug as you progress translating. We're very close to releasing Inkscape now so it's better to submit more often.
I think that's all you need to know. You can find more information here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Translation_information If not, feel free to ask on this list.
Good luck and don't hesitate, your translation can probably still make it into 0.48.
