Languages to build
Languages for the first build
We do not need to support or test all OOo languages with our first build. But in order to ensure that it works correct we should include a localization test as well:
- Japanese (Volunteers = Kazunari Hirano, ???)
- Spanish (Volunteers = ~ashanen, ???)
- Chinese (Volunteers = ~hanshuwang, ???)
Languages for developer milstones
When it comes to frequently published developer milestones we should think about which languages to include. The following table shows the set of languages that were chosen in the previous OOo project. For a new list we first have to look for volunteers before choosing the appropriate languages.
