Hi everyone,

The translation templates were just updated with the latest terms, including:

- addition of several missing terms in the web client, thanks to a contribution 
by Csaba Tóth [1]
- removal of duplicated constraints messages, previously copied in all modules 
that shared a common object with constraints, causing about 400 useless 
duplicated terms [2]
- update of all templates according to the latest changes
- most l10n_* modules that don't require translations were hidden from the 
Launchpad translation interface and statistics (translation files are preserved 
if they existed)

There is still time to complete the translations of the main modules in time 
for the release, especially if you can coordinate with other translators.
See also the links in my previous email (quoted below) if you would like to get 
started or need more info.

Currently, the top 5 translations for OpenERP Addons are *Chinese* 
(Simplified), *Dutch*, *Portuguese*, *Romanian* and *Japanese*, and the next 
ones are very close at 5-6k terms to translate.

For what it's worth, Erwin van der Ploeg (a major contributor to the Dutch 
translation) mentioned it took him roughly 10 hours to translate the first 1000 
new 7.0 terms, with the help of Launchpad's suggestions[3].
The top 10 languages have a good team of translators, so they should be able to 
be ready in time for the final 7.0 release!

Way to go!
