Well - to do the tests currently, they can edit the contents of
/home/olpc/.i18n and set the contents to

LANG="ht_HT.UTF-8"

The fix that went into sugar control panel should appear within the
next few joyrides (Marco just made a release which has the fix).

The deadline is over - there might be another package
release,especially for sugar, but that's not set in stone yet.

However, if they continue translations, they can always use the
language packs to add the translations they did later on in the
process.
