Hello everyone,

The translation templates were updated one last time today, just before the 
creation of the 7.0 series and branches on Launchpad, for the release.

The default translation focus has been changed to the 7.0 series now, so it is 
best to translate 7.0 instead of trunk from now. Translations are automatically 
shared between series, but directly translating on 7.0 is safer; it ensures 
that Launchpad exports your changes in the 7.0 source code every night, so they 
can be integrated in the latest OpenERP packages.

Don't worry if your translation is not 100% complete yet, you can continue 
working on it at your own pace. Your changes will be automatically included in 
the installation packages that are re-built every night and published on 
openerp.com for download. (7.0 packages will only be available in a few days)


Thanks again for the impressive work that has been done on the translations!
We cannot express how thankful we are to all of you who spend countless hours 
struggling on the translation interface to make OpenERP look great in your 
language. You are the essence of the open source spirit and the very reason why 
OpenERP exists!

Have a very nice week-end, and a great time with your families in the coming days!
