Definitely. I don't think the set of templates (in English for now) is stable enough for an actual, broad call for translations, but we could, should start somehow and see what works and what does not. Therefore, no guarantee that the translations will be used as is, or that there won't be more work when/if we figure out that we did things the wrong way, nevertheless, the contribution would be much appreciated.

More info: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/ has the instructions to get the "latest code" through CVS, which is what we use as a code repository and versioning system. In there, two areas are particularly important: * share/templates/en_US a.k.a http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/share/templates/en_US/ This is where the templates are. Translating tem means taking all the files, and translating the english content (but not the markup, obviously). The biggest part of the work would certainly be error_messages.cfg, which has all the error message explanations. How to do this: copy en_US to another directory (fr_FR or something like that) and start translating. * htdocs and htdocs/docs These are the "pages" and documentation. Pretty much vanilla HTML pages. > > For (3), either join the OpenJade project[1] or just create your own > version of the messages separately.

Ah, here's the French one: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/openjade/sp/po/Attic/fr.po? rev=1.1&view=log Thanks. -- olivier Thereaux - W3C - http://www.w3.org/People/olivier/ W3C Open Source Software: http://www.w3.org/Status
