Yaay.. translation's over!

Yup, translation's over and we did it faster than we'd expected - all strings done by morning!

Altogether 12 developers burned the midnight oil for Translation Nite-out and all the XO strings (except that of EToys) have been localized to Nepali. More of this here. All the translated strings were rechecked and proof-read by Shankar Pokharel, our in-house Nepali expert.

The following packages were translated:

• XO Core
• XO Bundle
• Terminology
• Packaging
• Activation Server
• Pootle
  
• Scratch
  

Statistics on translation are in our wiki.

Great work guys. Afterall what's community for? And finally, cheers to all the caffeine we consumed!

Seems like we're gonna meet our goals pretty fast and easily. EToys (with 23K+ strings) is our real headache but that doesn't come under our prime priority for this localization attempt. Apart from the strings mentioned in Pootle server, we're also translating Scratch; lots of thanx to Evelyn Eastmond of MIT Scratch Team for this.

The translation madness will last till 8pm tomorrow. We're expecting more volunteers to join us, especially from Pulchowk Campus and Kathmandu University.
