If you'd like to see OpenLP in your language, now's the time! We are about 2 weeks away from the release of 2.2, and now is your opportunity to translate OpenLP's interface into your own language.
In order for your langauge to be included you need to have completed the translation of OpenLP 2.2 (you'll need to be logged into Transifex to see this page) by midnight UTC (GMT) on Saturday the 10th of October 2015.
Because we believe strongly in quality over quantity at OpenLP, we will not be including any translations that are incomplete into the final build. This means that if you want your language to be part of the final release of version 2.2, you need to make sure it is 100% done by the end of Saturday the 10th of October. This deadline also gives you just over a week to complete any outstanding translations.
Languages Needing Work
Currently, the following translations are more than 80% complete, but still need some work (ordered from most complete to least complete). My estimate is that none of these should take longer than about 2 hours to complete.
Polish
French
Lithuanian
Russian
Portuguese (Brazil)
Bulgarian
The following translations are between 40% and 80% complete. Unless these are worked on this week, they probably won't make it into the final release of OpenLP.
Thai (Thailand)
Tamil (Sri-Lanka)
Greek
Afrikaans
Chinese (China)
Korean
Lastly, the following translations are less than 40% complete. If any of these translations makes it into the final release, I will be very surprised.
Slovenian
Italian
Macedonian
Ukrainian
Norweigian Nyorsk
Papiamento
Turkish
Malayalam
Latvian
Spanish (Colombia)
Arabic
Albanian
Korean (Korea)
Ukranian (Ukraine)
Khmer (Cambodia)
Russian (Russia)
Amharic
English (United States)
Klingon
Arabic (Egypt)
Spanish (Chile)
Vietnamese (Viet Nam)
