A short summary of the topics and decisions of this meeting:
 
*Explanation: i18n stands for ''internationalization'', while L10n is used for ''localization''. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalization_and_localization further info])
 
* Simone will have a look at the VAT KB article {{Jira|CT-36}}.
** VAT should be translated with ''Umsatzsteuer'' instead of ''Mehrwertstuer'', so http://de.secondlife.com/pricing/vat needs to be fixed.
* The terms ''Openspace'' and ''Homestead'' won't be translated. ''Homestead'' might have an additional description like: ''Homestead (Region für leichte Besiedlung)''
* Raised attention to and asked about contributions for {{Jira|MISC-1705}} Meta issue - i18n and L10n issues
** Responses from Danica:
*** @{{Jira|MISC-1418}}: "''[http://secondlife.com/corporate/tos.php Terms of Service]'' will not be translated for another 6 months''"
**** Unofficial translations can be stored [[LL:Second Life Terms of Service|in the Wiki]] with an appropriate disclaimer.
*** @{{Jira|MISC-1281}}: "''Arabic, we have some i18n issues around bi-directional encoding. so that will be a little bit more''"
*** @{{Jira|WEB-821}}: "''I am trying to change this. I think we'll get rid of browser language recognition by February. it is annoying I admit''"
* Request to have a look at {{Jira|CT-81}} and the [[Localization_Functional_Tests|connected Wiki page]] in order to find bugs preventing localization.
** Special attention to [[Localization_Functional_Tests#Test_C:_Higher-level_features|Test C]]
* The upcoming localization portal will be a toolset from [http://www.lingotek.com Lingotek]
* A temporary glossary for French and German [http://glossword.zeitenwerk.de/1.8/ is available over here]. This one can be used until the Localization Portal is in place (sheduled for January 2009).
** Other glossaries stored at [[How to Localize Your World#Review the Style Guide and Glossary]] aren't recommendable since they are outdated.
**A glossary for Japanese language is currently in production.
*[[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] managed to modify [[Template:Multi-lang]] in a way that it distinguishs LSL articles and non-LSL articles and adds them to a category for each language in case the translation is missing. See [[Template:Needs Translation]] for a collection of links to the related categories.
**It is also now possible to mark translated pages as out of date (with only one edit) once the base page is changed. More on that at the next meeting.
*Final decision on [[German_speaking_Linguists/History/Sie_vs._Du|Sie vs. Du]] topic: You will be translated with "Sie" on the second life page since it also addresses businesses.
*[[User:Simone Linden|Simone Linden]] (German localization specialist) will shedule office hours in the future (no date set atm).
