[Localization] Mongolian and Dari (was [sw-eco] Keyboard Support for Haiti & Ethiopia - OLPC 8.1.1 bugfix release)

Fri May 16 09:32:00 EDT 2008

Hi.
Its me Sohaib Obaidi, the localizer for Dari Afghanistan. I m glad to hear that the shipment for Dari Afghanistan is ready, as we were so waiting to hear it. The localization process, as i had mentioned before was a little bit slow within this month, due to my University Exams, but i m trying my best to give much time for it as well.
I had listed my all bio data in wiki as well as wiki for Afghanistan;
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Afghanistan_Team
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Afghanistan
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Sohaib_Ebtihaj

I would be glad to hear from you soon.
Thanks.

next to ship. Stats from Pootle show that the localizations are not
ready, but apparently that will not prevent shipments from going
ahead. We need to recruit more localizers for these languages and
others so that we do not get caught short again.

Who here has contacts in Mongolia and Afghanistan? Who doesn't know
people there but has a network that might extend that far? For
example, is anyone here in contact with the Soyombo Linux project in
Mongolia? What other groups should we contact? Please look at the data
on the Khmer page, and think whether you can provide similar links on
the Dari and Mongolian pages, or any other language page.

There is nobody listed on the Pootle page in the Wiki for Dari, and
the two people listed for Mongolian don't give contact information. I
can't get this information from Pootle, either. Can anybody put me
into contact with the Dari or Mongolian localizers? Are they on this
list? I can't view the list subscribers, either. Is that intentional?

I'm just getting some feedback from Quanta on problems with Mongolian
laptops as they are producing a couple thousand this week and will be
shipping them out.

I will try to recreate these issues and we can see if they fit the
same areas of change and if there is another fix that could be a
candidate for bug fix release.

Looking ahead, the next new keyboard/country that will be manufactured
is Dari (Afghanistan), starting in 2 weeks from now. Perhaps I can get
to testing that one as well with 703 and see what issues they will
have BEFORE they have them.  After Dari, there are only English and
Spanish laptops for 5-6 weeks.

For people who want to help with this testing, the basic idea is that
you need to set your laptop to the desired country and then follow the
test cases found here:
