Reaching everyone

Posted on Monday 12 March 2007

Ubuntu is a distribution of the Linux operating system that wants to be available for everyone. Linux is making a lot of inroads into government offices in other countries. These governments are balking at the high cost of Microsoft based products. The latest to switch is the French Parliament.
Ubuntu has a page that allows people to help do translations of application buttons and text. There are many languages, including Scots. Here’s an example:

English: If enabled, gnome-session will prompt the user before ending a session.

Scots: If enablt, gnome-session will prompt the uiser afore feenishin a session.

Scots has the nice ring of hillbilly in it. Dun’it?

The languages, Latin and Klingon, are also supported.
