	ASLO no longer provides links to the git version. Many activities were repaired by the GCI participants. These need to be reviewed to make sure that the translation files are available and current. Chris Leonard has provided a list of 'missing activities', i.e. activities which had localization files but which were misplaced in a pootle migration.

Localization, l10n, requires effort by volunteers who know the native language as well as English (the language of the POT master files). Translation into mother tongues by bilingual non-English speakers (e.g. Spanish-Aymara) is also supported by keeping Spanish PO files translated at high levels of completion.
