Hi folks:
Thanks for your comments about these translations. As you know, the
interface translations were sort of a mess - there were interface
elements that we didn't know about until almost the last moment.
Rather than present them totally in English, we made the conscious
decision to get what we could from previous forms and other places,
and know that some of it would be flawed. The alternative would be to
send out ANOTHER request for translation, which we didn't want to do,
because translators had already done so much on this project and we
didn't want to keep hammering you with requests, particularly for
things to happen in a very short amount of time.
The application was not presented to us as early as we would ideally
have liked; interface elements were unknown... all of these were
issues with the process, but are issues that we're learning from.
Going forward, your solution (add a section for button so that we can
manually update flawed translations) is a good one. Any that are
added, I'll get updated as quickly as possible. In the meantime, if
there's something particularly horrible, feel free to send me a
private mail and I'll see what we can do.
Thanks for your hard work...
Philippe

Plus,
there's no "Volunteer now" to be translated.
I've just added a == Button == section with that text.
Please translate it, and
the previous section (Title) too if it's not translated yet
into your language;
I'll file a bug in the (UTC) evening if developers do not
notice the problem until then.
Good idea, Tisza.
We should reflect that also here:

Would you file the bug now? This thing is already out, so we should
try to solve it ASAP.
Thank you,
Mariano Cecowski.
