...
[13:41:21 CDT(-0500)] <athena> sadly we've of course had a lot of language barriers that have made it harder for everyone to collaborate
[13:42:35 CDT(-0500)] <Arvids> Each large nation values its language a lot... it's not the case for such little nation as mine 
[13:42:49 CDT(-0500)] <Arvids> I'm forced to know at least 3 languages here
[13:43:18 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yeah, you're much more educated than we are 
[13:44:07 CDT(-0500)] <Arvids> Heh... i could even do the basic translation for Russian language too
[13:45:35 CDT(-0500)] <Arvids> that reminds me that we have some folks on user list from russia... i'm wondering why aren't they asking for their locale provided out of the box
[13:48:10 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i'd be all for a russian translation
[13:48:21 CDT(-0500)] <athena> if you're up for QAing it all the better
[13:48:27 CDT(-0500)] <athena> think we might have foudn someone to do arabic too
[13:48:28 CDT(-0500)] <Arvids> I was just looking trhough uPortal manual and couldn't find a clue regarding i18n
[13:48:35 CDT(-0500)] <athena> errr yeah we should add some stuff
[13:48:43 CDT(-0500)] <athena> if you're interested in helping . . .
[13:49:35 CDT(-0500)] <Arvids> I'm not qualified translator, but i can try my best
[13:50:33 CDT(-0500)] <Arvids> I have some colleagues that I can ask for a help
[13:51:40 CDT(-0500)] <athena> awesome
[13:51:53 CDT(-0500)] <athena> and honestly, even just some basic fixing is way better than nothing
[13:53:26 CDT(-0500)] <Arvids> So... could you create the initial message files for Russian?
[13:53:41 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yeah, we can just use the translator plugin to do that
[13:53:52 CDT(-0500)] <Arvids> ... if google's translate service is working for you
[13:53:54 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i'll fix that thing up again to take a configurable list of languages
[13:53:57 CDT(-0500)] <athena> well . . . yes
[13:54:04 CDT(-0500)] <athena> if not i have some other ideas
[13:54:54 CDT(-0500)] <Arvids> sweet
[18:35:27 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> arg... my eclipse wants to build uportal-war constantly... making the IDE unresponsive... are there any known setup tips for making eclipse behave reasonably here?
