Hi, Just some ideas... For the Planet thing: - A 'main' Planet, keeping the one that already exists - Some 'non-english' Planets from non-english blogs - 'Main planet' should offer links to 'non-english' planets in its website, and each 'non-english' planet should have a link to 'main planet' For the maemo.org in general: - Content from Nokia or Maemo team (I am thinking about 'offical' announcements, events, ...) should be available in different languages. So when you enter in maemo.org it should offer a 'localized' version of the website acording with your browser language settings. - In Community and News section there there should be a link or news from corresponding 'non-english' planet, and after it, there should be a link to 'main planet' (indicating that it is English writen) Perhaps reading W3C docs about Internationalization[1] could help, [1] http://www.w3.org/International/ 2007/11/15, Quim Gil <quim.gil at nokia.com>: > (((we are still waiting for you to decide *clearly* on the Planet thing: > all languages mixed, apartheid English-Other or several planets per > language?))) > > On Mon, 2007-11-12 at 15:32 +0100, ext Christian Otto Stelter wrote: > > Hi! > > > > Rafael Proen?a wrote: > > > Now that it came up, I recently noticed that there are not many (if any) > > > localized versions of the Maemo community resources.
