GNU utilities need to be localized! If you master your native language, have a reasonable knowledge of English (you are reading this, right?) and are willing to donate some free time, you can participate.
All the message catalogues (the messages program print out
while running, e.g. command not found) need to be
translated. This project is currently being led by
François
Pinard from Montreal University, Canada. In the
working directory
for the translation project (or its
European mirror)
you can find what has been done already. The project now also has
its own Web
page.
You will probably also want to subscribe to the translators'
mailing list at Linux
International. The list address is of the form
LL@li.org, where LL is the two-letter ISO 639 two-letter code for the chosen
language (Be sure not to confuse the ISO
639 language code with ISO 3166
country code!). The address for subscribing is
LL-request@li.org. For example, you can subscribe to
the Polish translation list by sending a message with
subscribe in the email body to the address pl-request@li.org.
