For this we need to add support for i8n to haunt, which is a technical issue, but we also would like to invite native speakers to come forward and perhaps introduce some helpers who are interested in spreading free software in places that need it! It is not meant to be a lot of work, one day per language would probably do. But it needs to be someone who understands free software to get the lingo right. How do you translate 'rolling software deployment'. You don't want it to be 'fuming dragon on carpet', though that may actually be the better representation ;) We can start simply translating the front page and perhaps one or two blogs. I think that once we bootstrap there will be more people pitching in. But you need to get the attention first. Just a small sacrifice of your time with tremendous potential impact!
