[Grassroots-l] Help the G1G1 marketing effort

[Todd Kelsey]

To clarify, as I understand it, these words are for a specific marketing
"widget" which will use these words in different languages as part of a
marketing effort. A partner, Taxi -- in NYC, is developing the widget, and
any translations would be needed by noon Eastern Standard Time on Friday -
so if anyone plans to translate in the .po file, i'd recommend getting them
to Sayamindu by 11am EST, or taking the MS Word file that I will post
directly to www.cftw.com/translate in MS Word and Open Office formats and
replacing the english with the other language.

Please email me as well because I am helping Seth to coordinate. Don't wait
for a reply though as I will be up all night and may not get to email until
10:30-11 am EST.

As I understand, German, Italian and Spanish are taken care of. And Taxi
just emailed tonight and said no more than 7 languages will be needed total,
but there's no way of knowing at this point so please feel free to translate
however you like.

I will proceed to immediately opening the relevant word doc, converting to
open office format, and uploading to www.cftw.com/translate
