March 25th, 2006: KGeography in Tajik |
| Tajik and Russian translators cooperate to make KDE-Edu software available in their languages. They just finished to translate KGeography and they are going to develop a Tajik/Russian/English KGeography Dictionary. Here is the story from Roger Kovacs, Tajik-i18n sponsor: "Victor Ibragimov formed a high school Tajik Linux Users Group in Dushanbe that coordinated with the Russian KDE translation team and completed the Tajik and Russian translations of KGeography. This event occurs a year after funding on the original "kick-start" for the Tajik Linux translations had ended, showing a sustainable organization was formed with help of World Bank a few years ago. These high school students should be recognized for their achievements. Also a special thanks to the entire KDE team for their continued assistance over the years, and to Eastera, an internet provider to allow these students access to the needed files. Victor Ibragimov and the Youth Opportunities NGO, continue to be a contributor to the Open Source, Linux and KDE efforts". It is planned to invite representatives from the Ministry of Education Republic of Tajikistan, Embassy of Russia in Tajikistan and representatives of Secondary Schools to participate at KGeography Presentation. |
