Alex Taylor reports:
German is targeted to be the first NLV release. I believe it's pretty
close to being ready, at least code-wise.
It's planned to be released in conjunction with a minor refresh of the EN
CD#1 which should fix a handful of installer issues. I can't tell you
exactly when that will be ready -- hopefully soon -- because we're still
doing some work to try and solve a problem involved with installing
alongside Windows 7. (We know more or less what the solution is, but
slotting it into the existing install framework without disruption takes a
fair amount of leg-work.)
I expect Dutch will probably follow fairly soon after German, since it's
mostly up to spec as well, and AFAIK the translation is substantially
complete.
Italian is being worked on with some regularity, but I don't exactly know
how far along it is.
Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese,
Swedish and Russian are
all at various stages of work. Most of them are up to spec technically (or
could be made that way without too much more effort); they just require
translation. (We could always use more people who are willing and able to
translate, by the way -- the shortage of translators is mostly what's
keeping these particular languages behind.)
Spanish, French, and Korean are largely stalled at this point, although if
we had volunteers to pick them up we could probably do something with at
least the first two. (Korean is up against some technical hurdles that
have us largely stumped at the moment, unfortunately.)
