<br><br>Dear Tim,<br><br>Pardon the top-posting, but I couldn't help but notice that the one list you didn't include was the Sugar Labs / OLPC / eToys Localization list, which is perhaps your best avenue to reach our localizers, so I have cc'ed that list on this reply.<br>
<br><a href="http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/localization" target="_blank">http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/localization</a><br><br>I would like to point out that there are still some eToys strings that need completion on our Pootle server in the languages you listed.<br>
<br><a href="http://translate.sugarlabs.org/projects/etoys_new/" target="_blank">http://translate.sugarlabs.org/projects/etoys_new/</a><br><br>and there is a great deal of work that is needed on Haitian Kreyol (both Sugar and eToys), but we have not had much luck in recruiting localizers. Help from Waveplace would be greatly appreciated.<br>

<br></div><div style="font-size: 12px;">We're looking for a little help with our Waveplace courseware. We're hoping to get it all translated into:</div><div style="font-size: 12px;"><br>Haitian Creole<br>French</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">Spanish</div><div style="font-size: 12px;">Portuguese</div><div style="font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12px;">Our funds are limited, so I wanted to know if you have any volunteers who could possibly help in this effort.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12px;">Our courseware is located at <a href="http://wiki.waveplace.org/display/wp/Courseware" target="_blank">http://wiki.waveplace.org/display/wp/Courseware</a>. So far, the lessons we have finished are:</div>

<div style="font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12px;">As you can see, it's a bit of work. Many things are already translated into Haitian Creole, but not everything.</div><div style="font-size: 12px;">
<br></div><div style="font-size: 12px;">Please let me know if you can offer any help to us!</div><div style="font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12px;">Thanks so much!</div><div style="font-size: 12px;"><br>
