OSGeo-Board Open Source Geospatial Foundation Press release translations

[Daniel Brookshier]

The portal supports several languages in the interface and help. The  
way it works is that files end in their country code. So, if you have  
an index.html page in the project for English, you add  
index.html.zh_ch for chinese (simplified and traditional), ko for  
Korean, ja for japan. These are also the supported user interface  
languages. I believe that for web content, the system will support  
all the languages while the interface is limited to these specific  
types. CollabNet adds languages to the interface regularly, so the  
supported languages for the interface will grow.

So, I can see that in the email list above, I am fairly sure that the  
postfix's of it, de, and br should present that language version.
