Joomla! Translation Blog
Joomla! 1.5 is completely internationalised. This means that it displays different text depending on a user's language setting.
Translations are contributed by Joomla! users worldwide. If you find an incorrect translation, or if you'd like to add a language that isn't yet translated, here's what to do:
Translations Working Group
The purpose of the Translation Working Group is to be a liaison between the international community and the other Joomla! Teams on user and technical matters relating to the translation of the Joomla! application. More than 50 local language coordinators represent their local teams in Translation Working Group.
Leaders of the translation work group blog here about the translation process, the thinking behind the Joomla! approach to internationalisation, and the activities of the work group.

We do translate Joomla! resources from English to our Native local language. The only difference is, it is translating on your own or in a team.
When you translate alone, you don't have problems with resources synchronization, if you work with two people on translations, you could need tools for synchronizing resources and also versioning this resource.
Many of us of course use Subversion(SVN) or CVS. In the last years SVN is more popular. It is a good and helpful tool in many cases, but it's not SVN I would like to show you.

This is my opening blog entry here what I would like to celebrate with a special topic. I will sketch you a picture about the popularity of Joomla! from the viewpoint of the languages.
The internationalization is a hinge of the Joomla! 1.5.x release. The user interface of Joomla! 1.5.x is available in dozens of translations. You can obtain them from various resources, but if you are looking for a particular language, your first step should be to visit the Translations Project at JoomlaCode.
We have learnt that the search engines are our friends if we need something from the web. I read some blogs utilizing Google's services, I will do the same now with the global Google Search. Power users surely often turn to the Advanced Search feature. You will find a Language dropdown in this screen. Currently 43 languages can be selected to filter the results of the chosen language. I played it over with the keyword 'joomla' entered in the this exact wording or phrase field.
