Hi Duarte, hi website translators,
thank you for your reply, Duarte, and hello! I noticed many pages were translated to Portuguese :)
Today someone offered to translate to pt-br, but I don't know how similar your two languages are, so I asked if I should add the language for him. We'll see if you get a colleague or a competitor ;)
You are right, Duarte, the FAQ which is currently on the website is *hopelessly* outdated. BUT: There is a new version sitting on http://staging.inkscape.org/en/brynns-user-faq/, just waiting for the release of 0.91 . It has been updated to match 0.91, that is why it is not yet on the main website.
Many other pages are also currently in flux, so I suggest we first work on those which are not 'moving targets'.
These are: - - the pages in the 'About' section - - the pages in the 'Download' section - - the pages in the new 'Support Us' section - - the news (it would be nice if at least those from end of 2014 and those from 2015 were translated)
The pages, which are currently being changed are: - - 'Learn' section and submenu - - 'Community' section and submenu - - 'Develop' section and submenu - - 'Contribute' section and submenu
I will keep you in the loop and send a message to the list when any of those have 'stabilized'.
Other news:
There is a new translation system planned (cmsrosetta), which is intended to make translating the website a lot easier and less risky. And we are now lucky to have a team of designers working on the looks, but they may also want to make a few contents / structure changes to make the web site more user friendly.
Regards, Maren

Hello everyone, following the mail from Maren I am reporting to the translators mailing list to which I believe I never got to subscribed in the past.
My name is Duarte Ramos and I am currently the only (at least to my knowlege) website translator for the Portuguese language. I have been more or less active with the translation depending on the free time I can spare, although I have to admit that I have been "loosing steam" as time goes by. That doesn't mean I have stopped completely, as I plan to keep going until I all is done, and maintain it afterwards as changes come up.
It would definitely be nice to know which pages are "static" or which pages are being worked on or undergoing changes so that no translation effort is lost on out of date content. I have been going through the (very ) long FAQ page for quite some month now, but a lot of it looks like really out of date content. Many are about very old versions of Inkscape I doubt anyone still uses, and workarounds for old operating systems and past bugs that are probably no longer relevant today .

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
