Some months ago, when it was clear that our (Romanian) translation will
not be ready for 3.0, it was decided to target 3.1, but Sun was not
accepting translations for 3.1, they were focused on 3.0.
Also Pavel provide localized builds for *each* language every two weeks
(is not easy to build OOo yourself), so it is a very useful convenience
for translators who need the builds for QA their progressing work.
Yup pjanik's translation-focused work is a great resource and has helped
loads of translators and translations get bootstrapped up. But just to
be clear here, pjaniks builds are a additional *third*
translation-focused stream, separate to ooo-build (
go-ooo.org) and Sun's
vanilla builds. i.e. what pops out at
http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/OpenOffice.org/... is a vanilla Ooo
with the additional sdf files applied.
We could also add late translations (or LGPL translations that have
contributors that didn't sign the Sun SCA) as extra Sources: in
our .spec, as we did for a F-9 update for some Serbian translations when
someone asked to have them included. Though I'm not particularly
enthused about adding never-to-be-merged translations after I only got
our last F-9 out-of-stream translations merged into upstream in this
release.
