<h3>Internationalization</h3>
Mailman 2.1 is fully internationalized. 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.
