[imc-scotland-discussion] Translation into Gaelic

[Ben]

Hi Stephen,

This is great,
I have managed to get a large list of strings for him to translate so
far (based on standard Drupal template) but not the entire template
(custom modules etc.), but I'm working on this,

If he manages to get the standard Drupal template translated it would
be well worth adding to the Drupal website ->
http://drupal.org/project/Translations,

The template for the standard drupal template can be downloaded here...

http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/11/3/343916/drupaltemplate/gd.po

To read and edit this file easily he will need to download the program
poedit ( http://www.poedit.net/download.php )

This should be enough work to start with,

I will work on getting together the rest of the interface...

Ben
