[OSGeo-Discuss] Translated web site content

Hi everybody,
It is with pleasure that I mention our main web site now supports  
more than just the English language!

If you go to http://www.osgeo.org you will now see a "Select  
language" menu on the left side, with a few languages listed.  The  
tools are pretty simple, if you press a language the content will  
change, but only if that content has been translated already.  All  
default content is in US English.

There isn't a lot translated yet, but this is your invitation to help  
with making more translations complete.  Your contributions are  
welcome.  If you are interested in helping translate, it is not that  
difficult.  Just let your Web Committee know by subscribing and  
introducing yourself on the Web Committee mailing list:
http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/webcom

The language switching capabilities are not perfect, but from tests  
they seem to be sufficient.  If you get weird content or get lost,  
please also join above list and let the team know.  Any rare problems  
I have seen usually just require you to select English and then  
select your language again.

Hope this is exciting for you!
Sincerely,
Tyler
