This means you can add +translations of all the email and web templates so that your users can +interact with your mailing lists in their native language. +Internationalization is handled as follows: + +<ul> + <li>Each Mailman installation has a server default language. + Mailman ships with US English as the server default. + + <p><li>Mailman comes with many supported languages, and if your + language is on that list, it will just work. + + <p><li>Individual list owners can choose which languages they'd + like their mailing list to support from the suite of site-enabled + languages. The list owner can also select the list's default + language. Mailing lists can thus be monolingual (with English or + any other installed language as the default), or they can be + multilingual. + + <p><li>Individual users can choose what their preferred language + is, from the set of list-enabled languages. Thus, if a list is + multilingual, the user can choose which language they'd prefer + when interacting with Mailman. +</ul> + +It must be noted that Mailman never actually translates the messages +that flow through its mailing lists. It's up to the list members to +adhere to their community's language conventions. + +<h3>Mailman Language Champions</h3> + +Each language translation has a champion who coordinates updates and +submits them to the Mailman project. If the language you are +interested is listed here, please contact the champion for details. +If your language is not listed here, or if you have general questions +about I18N Mailman, please contact the +<a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-i18n" +>mailman-i18n@python.org</a> mailing list. + +<p>We are investigating using the +<a href="http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/">Translation +Project</a> for future language support. + +<dl> + <p><dt><b>Catalan</b></dt> + <dd><a href="mailto:jordi@debian.org">Jordi Mallach</a> is heading + up the Catalan translation effort. + + <p><dt><b>Chinese</b> Simplified (GB), and Big5</dt> + <dd><a href="mailto:max.yu@turbolinux.com.cn">Max Yu</a> heads up + the Simplified Chinese translation effort.
