[WG: I18N & L10N] Sakai 3 I18n and L10n

[Michael Korcuska]

[Apologies for cross-posting, replies should probably just go to i18n at collab-sakaiproject.org 
  and sakai-kernel at googlegroups.com]

Greetings,

I'd like to draw your attention to some potential i18n work on Sakai  
3. I think the code is now stable enough for some internationalization  
tests. It would be great if we could do some trial localization work  
and see what needs to be improved to make localization easier. As you  
know it will get more and more difficult to change as things move  
further along....

Michael
