[ed@Mint]

Hi all,

With the upcoming new version of Linux Mint, Elyssa, is obviously coming a new version of our beloved and popular user guide
Clem is actually finishing the writing and it should be out some time in the next week.

We need people to translate it in as many languages as possible

So, if you have good writing skills in your language and some spare time to take part to such a beautiful project as Linux Mint, propose yourself !

The links to the guide (pdf and odt) will be posted here as soon as they become available.

Good work everybody !

Current languages :

• French
• German (DracorX & louis77)
• Swedish (Zwopper)
• Norwegian (Ede)
• Bulgarian (spas87 & emil_pavlov)
• Bangla (gizmo)
• Greek (twin)
• Czech (Majkl_is_already_in_use)
• Russian (sdemchenko)
• Ukrainian (sdemchenko)
• Italian (http://www.linuxmint-italia.org)
• Danish (HJess)
  //Spanish (?)
• Catalan (wuying_ren)

I'll do the french translation.

[Zwopper]

...and I'll do the Swedish version! (I guess there'll be no wallpapers for a while!)

[dracorX]

OK, I do the german one provided you send it to me by email. I can't do it online as I'm only online at my girls place or at work, but can do it offline. BUT, depending on the size, it might take a bit, I can only offer about 6 - 8 hours a week!

[ed@Mint]

Many thanks to Zwopper and DracorX for their participation.
We need more people !

[Ede]

I'll do the norwegian one. Beeing the grammar **** that I am.

Thanks to you Ede
That is a quality to tends to become more and more rare nowadays...

to Husse : I temporarily put this topic into "Announcements", please let me know if this is a bad idea... Just wanted to give it more visibility.

I believe it's not out yet, you will be informed when it is.

[ed@Mint]

As there will be a second beta for Elyssa, Clem and the team have a lot of work these days.
The user guide is planned for after the release of the second beta. (i'd say roughly 2-3 weeks)
I'll PM all the volunteers when it'll be out.

Thank you anyway to those willing to participate in the translation : Zwopper, DracorX, Ede, Louis77, Spas87, Emil_pavlov, Gizmo.
We now have people for : French, Swedish, German, Norwegian, Bulgarian and Bengla !

If you can speak another language, propose yourself !

[ed@Mint]

Thank you Twin and Majkl

As said earlier the guide won't be out before 2 weeks, so there's no urgency.
And, in the end, you have 6 months before Mint 6 comes out...

[sdemchenko]

I'll do Russian and Ukrainian translations.

[ed@Mint]

Many thanks for your will, sdemchenko

As the final release of Elyssa approaches, the guide should be out within this month.
I'll let you all know.
