English (Australian) Translation

About

The goal of this page is to provide people wanting to know how to start translating packages into English (Australian) with the information required so that they can start doing so at their own pace.

Sources of information

• English Translation - most of this information on this page has been directly taken from the English Translation page with slight alterations to make it relevant to the English (Australian) efforts.

Participation

Joining the Ubuntu English (Australia) Translators team allows you to commit translations. If you are not a member you can still contribute but your contributions will need to be approved by a member.

Procedure to Join

1. Sign up for a Launchpad account.

2. Apply to join the Ubuntu English (Australian) Translators team

3. Apply to join the Ubuntu English (United Kingdom) Translators team and sign up to the ubuntu-l10n-eng mailing list. The discussion on this low volume mailing list is very useful for us as our translation is almost identical and helps make translation more uniform across teams.

Requirements

It sounds obvious but you will need to have an adequate command of the written English language (specifically Australian English) to effectively translate in this team.

Tools and Guidelines

To save doubling efforts it is recommended to read over the English Translation Tools and English Translation Guidelines as shown on the English Translation's wiki page.

This information is very useful to just confirm any thoughts you may have either way and provides a handy reference table.
