gvSIG continues growing thanks to the very important effort its community is doing in translating the project documentation to the maximum amount of possible different languages.
The work of the several translation groups is showing results and among the newest and finished translation results in the gvSIG website are:
- The gvSIG 1.1 developer's manual in English [1]
- The gvSIG 1.1 user's manual in Italian [2] (also available in pdf format [3])
Recently it was announced the translated user's manual to Russian [4] and in shortly it will be incorporated in to the gvSIG website. Other teams continue their work. The German [5] and French [6] translation of the gvSIG 1.1 user's manual is very far in its development.
The gvSIG team considers that the translation of the documentation is a key component for the communication of the project. That is why we are encouraging people interested on collaborating in this way with the project to contact gvsig@gva.es.
We are especially interested in the participation of translators from Spanish to English because Spanish is the main language of the documentation. At the same time, the availability of this documentation in English will facilitate the translation to other languages.
About the gvSIG interface, the portuguese-brazilian translation is now available [7] to load in gvSIG 1.1.2. To that end, the Translation management extension [8] must be installed over gvSIG 1.1.2.
Due to the effort of its community, gvSIG keeps on developing. We would like to thank to all collaborators for their help, specifically to the international area of the project.
