[Imc-finance] translations for imc finance

[Anna]

hi all,

i just noticed something i wanted to let you know.

the process for finance decisions includes a three day period for 
translations. proposals get sent to the central translation discussion list 
translation@indymedia.org and this is stated in the proposals:

the problem with this is that the proposals mostly get stuck there. so far 
we hardly have any translators or sufficient software/web sites helping the 
translations along. that means that e.g. the last proposal didn't get 
translated into any language as far as i can tell.

it's not a primary concern of this list to deal with translations and i 
don't have a solution to the problem - but i think it's important to 
realize that even though we want to include non-anglo imc's in the decision 
making some basics are still missing. i just wanted to let you know.

maybe it would already help if everyone kept this in mind and asked around 
_all the time_ whether people can help with translations or infrastructure 
for translations or know people who can ... or just feel like facilitating 
one or several of the translation lists or the development of the 
translation process as such. there's a lot to be done.
