International BambooInvoice

Since BambooInvoice started its life as a “scratch my own itch” project, it seems to have picked up a life of its own.  Let me first of all say that I’m grateful for everyone who is using it, and especially those of you who have offered feedback and suggestions.  (But not those of you who have pointed out bugs :))

In the last little while, there have been several requests for languages other then English, so right here, right now, I hereby promise that the next release of BambooInvoice will be fully internationalized.  If you use Bamboo, and would like to contribute to the improvement of it, I’d be honoured if you’d help me out with translations.  So I’m hereby opening the first official BambooInvoice translation drive.  If you speak a second language (strongly) and would like to help out, please leave a note in the comments of this entry and I’ll contact you.  I’m hoping to start the move early next week (March 12-15) and hope to have a first beta version available by the end of March.

So, Parlez-vous francais? Hablas espasol? Parlate italiano?

Wow, thanks everyone!  I can’t wait to have a fully internationalized BambooInvoice for the world to use!

It speaks volums that you’d be willing to contribute your time.  Many thanks.

To anyone else reading this, please don’t think that this comment means I’m not still interested in more people ;^)

A ?o sloven?ina? :)

Translation is nice thing, but there are some law terms and conditions in every country and invoice content must meet with them.

I agree with Ivan. Derek, i18n is not enough, you must think about l10n. I am skeptic about localizing your invoicing software to requirements of different countries. Mission impossible, but a good exercise to you ;-)

I could do/revise do the French si tu veux !

Wow!  Great, I’m super thrilled by the enthusiasm here!  You all rock.  I’m a little behind where I wanted to be (I was hoping to get this started by now) but I’ll get to it shortly, and I sincerely appreciate all the offers of help!
