Translation Team/Upstream localization (view source)

It is important to understand that the Sugar user Interface is only part of what a user sees when using Sugar (say on an XO laptop or SOAS). It is important that a large number of upstream projects get localized to have a fully translated user experience. As one small example, when opening a PDF in Browse (web-activity) theree is a string that appears "Loading..." that comes from the evince document viewer. The only way to make that string appear in your native language is to contribute to the localization of evince in the upstream.

Sugar Labs and OLPC benefit greatly from work done upstream (Fedora, GNOME, etc.). These upstream projects typically host their own localization and in order for us to get the greatest benefit from these projects, it is important that we check on and contribute to their localization of the modules and languages of interest to Sugar Labs / OLPC. The benefits of making these upstream contributions flow directly back to Sugar Labs / OLPC as we get our L10n bits for these packages from the upstream.
