2012 Rally : I don't find anything else to translate !

Hi Siebrand,

Once again this year, I wish to participate to the translation rally. I have already done a bit more than 100 en->fr trnslations, but can't really find translations that I haven't already done or that I couldn't translate among the list of the 11 products you are proposing. I have seen that other projects such as the Encyclopedia of Life are available on translatewiki, but do not belong to the rally. What can I do ?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Bruno, that's unfortunate indeed. As with French, I have the same problem in Dutch. We're simply translating too much! But without kidding, you can indeed not qualify in the translation rally with translations for French, because there is not enough work left. Nothing to be done about that; you could learn another language, like Zulu, for example. That language has more than enough work for 40 translators translating 500 messages each. ;)

There are other ways, though, to make yourself extremely useful here. There is a language code "qqq" which contains documentation for the strings that translators translate. Many of those have not yet been documentation. Taking the source code, and adding documentation to it, you can make translations, although I must warn you that documenting takes much, much more time than translating.
