[Localization] Status of AbiWord Pootle hosting

[Chris Leonard]

Dear AbiWord devs and localizers,

The existing AbiWord PO files for the following languages have been
uploaded to the Sugar Labs Pootle server with the following (hopefully
self-explanatory) names:

abiword.2.8.stable.po
abiword.2.9.dev.r29782.po

They can be found under the language name at this link:
http://translate.sugarlabs.org/projects/upstream_POT/

Please review your languages uploaded PO files (particularly the
msgfmt checks on the Reveiw tab).  Many strings that were
automatically transferred in version upgrades are "fuzzy" and need
work, some are badly matched/translated by the fuzzy matching
algorithm of the merge tools.

AnLoc hosted AbiWord PO files will be discussed with fwolff (or other
AnLoc person) to minimize duplication of effort.

Italian and Korean need to be converted to UTF-8 before upload, I will
work on that.  For Urdu and Khmer, only 2.9 created as no strings are
translated yet (2.8 is a subset of 2.9 strings, so backfilling will be
easy).

The following need additional information to be fully resolved.  Merge
suggestions will be discussed individually with relevant locaizers.
nplural info being sought for language configuration on Poolte
includes number of plural forms and plural equation.

This just a start, but I think you will agree that it is a substantial
