Translate.org.za attended OOoCon 2004which was held in Berlin from the 22 to 24 of September.

Our goal was to raise the issues of localisation and the frustrations that we experience working with the OpenOffice,org project. Dwayne presented a paper on Translate.org.za - our tools goals and philosophy.

It was very important that we were there - we met with partners in the Khmer team and completed work on some of the Translate Toolkit. Most people within the OpenOffice community think the OpenOffice.org is managing localisation quite well - we were able to give them a translators view of that assumption. People are listening and there are some changes that will hopefully feature in OpenOffice.org 2.0 that will make it easier to produce and use translated version of OpenOffice.org
