Hi
Thanks to all who confirmed or added their translation (some translations still need to be confirmed!). Wiki page updated (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AboutScreenTranslation).
Johan is very busy at the moment, thus I've started to translate the screens by myself. I've tried Excellentia, but due to a very limited accents support, I've finally switched to Harabara Hand (http://www.dafont.com/harabarahand.font). The only drawback is that it doesn't support Cyrillic and other Unicode characters. Since I haven't found a nice script Cyrillic font, the Russian screen uses URW Chancery L (a default Ubuntu font). It's not a script font, but it looks better than a Times or Arial in this context.
The translated screens are now (revision 22547) br, fr, it, nl, pt_BR, and ru. Could you please take a look at the screens and tell me what you think of the chosen fonts before I continue?
Johan, do you want to keep your original untouched, or replace the "draw freely" font by Harabara Hand (or another script font)?
Regards, -- Nicolas

New screens translated (revision 22549): be, es, fi, gl, hu, pl, sk, sl, uk.
German translators, is the discussion closed? ;) Also missing: bg, cz, sr and sr_latin.

Good news! I've found a free version of Pushkin font (the script one used in 0.46 screens), called newPushkin (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Pushkin?content=106881). All the screens (except the original one, since I still don't know if I can change it) are now translated with this font.

Imho this font looks ugly (but a bit better with drop shadow). What about teams (package t1-teams in debian and derivatives)? Imho splash looks more consistent with it.
hi
I've just added the catalan translation to the list http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AboutScreenTranslation.

Hi all,
Is a requisite the use of Pushkin font? Or can I use another 'similar' font?
Thanks and best regards,
Dooteo

I've no opinion about it. The translations use (new)Pushkin because the author wanted to reuse the 0.46 font. Thus I won't change it except if Johan asks me to.
