Translate. Songbird. Go!

Friday, Dec 11. 2009 – Category: Songbird

We’re getting ready to ship Kanye, KoЯn, Songbird 1.4.1. (so tempted to call it Kandy-Koated Kanye Korn after one of kreeger’s favourite candies)… due to some mishaps with the translate webapp, we weren’t able to get the new strings showing up on the site until yesterday. Thankfully there aren’t many (<30), so we’re hoping our localisation community out there can dig in and help us plow through the remaining untranslated strings so we’ll have a multi-lingual bird ready for next week’s release.

Apologies for getting it resolved so late, we would definitely have liked to have had more time for localisers to finish working on the strings… but we really do appreciate everyone’s time and effort they put into these localisations for us.

If you’re interested in localising, and aren’t already on the songbird-l10n Google Group, go sign up! It’s what we use for help and coordination among localisers.

Yay! Though I don’t need any of ‘em, I certainly appreciate that you guys take the effort to support translations.

Looking forward to PortableApps getting this.

It took a huge amount of work, but EN-GB is “translated”

Great Scott, I’ve been waiting for this so long I can taste it. Between this, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (Echoes of Time), this may be one of those memorable Christmas seasons.

@Stormdancer Portableapps are ready and waiting for the final release. I suspect you’ll see it within a day of the release. 1.4 is in their beta testing forums now.
