[GNUnet-developers] Translation of GNUnet pages

[Tim Morley]

Hi there.

 

I've just spent an hour or two translating the GNUnet pages into the international language Esperanto, and I must congratulate the developers of the translation UI for its intuitiveness and ease of use. Thanks, guys!

 

There is a request that special character set requests be highlighted, however, and this is the reason for my writing. Esperanto contains six special letters:

  -- ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, ŭ and of course the capitals Ĉ, Ĝ, Ĥ, Ĵ, Ŝ, Ŭ

In case they don't make it from my outbox to your inbox intact, the letters are c, g, h, j and s, all with circumflex accents, and a 'u' with a breve (inverted circumflex). These characters exist in ISO-8859-3 and in Unicode, and can be seen (for example) at http://www.radio.com.pl/polonia/audio.asp?rId=11 or http://www.google.com/intl/eo/.

 

As a workaround, an 'x' is often used to represent the accent (cx = c-circumflex, sx = s-circumflex, etc.) but it's kinda ugly, and the proper accents are a vast improvement.

 

Please drop me a line if/when extended character set support is built into the translation engine (and I'll go through and replace all my x's with accents).

 

Cheers, and good luck with the GNUnet project.
