[Bf-docboard] Translation day announcement

[Tom M]

Okay here is the announcement any suggested changes?

*****************
Sunday the 9th is Blender Translators day.

We will meet in #blenderwiki on irc.freenode.net at two times

7 AM GMT Sunday  1:30 India (For India)
3 PM GMT Sunday

We will have people there to help with various issues, such as getting
permissions on the wiki, help with understanding what a word means if
it is unclear and other issues that might arise.

There are three potential translation tasks that can be done,

Translation of Blenders tool tips and interface elements for the
Dapper release, which can be done at

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/blender/+pots/blender


Another task is traslation of the quickstart guide located at

http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Talk:QuickStart

it can be edited with Scribus which can be downloaded from
http://www.scribus.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index


The third task is translation of the user manual which is on the wiki

http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Main_Page

Which has translations started in a number of languages. Editing the
wiki requires edit permissions which can be gained signing up at the
wiki and then by emailing

Japanese, and German

as needed).
