Translators, we need your help. If you would like to see your language included or updated, please edit this Wiki page to add the language and nominate yourself as a coordinator or translator. We need the following to ensure that translations can happen quickly and with minimum effort:
NOTE: You should also join the 
Translations mailing list if you have questions about how to do the translations or if you would like to volunteer, but don't know how to get started.
You can also have a look at this little howto to translate SME Server console and manager panels (should be corrected and included in the Wiki).

Developers to pull the translations into the smeserver-locale package
Gavin Weight and Franck Pierre
They will accept the files from the translation coordinators verbatim. After all, the coordinators are responsible for ensuring that their language files are correct. Translation coordiantors will use the bug tracker to attach additions and changes.
A developer to work through the translations bugs
(this position is open - please volunteer by submitting patches to the bug tracker)
We have a few unlocalised strings, notably warnings in the server-manager header. We need someone to propose solutions to these issues (in the bug tracker).
Someone to write a howto on how to do a complete translation to a new language
This has been covered in bits and pieces on the devinfo list and in the bug tracker, but it would be nice to have this information on a wiki page on contribs.org.
