Hey!

I saw a sort of "Help Wanted" ad when starting Mozilla, so I thought I
would offer my assistance, meager as it is... :)
I couldn't code C++ for my life, but my english is very good, and my
Danish is even better, as I am a native...
So, if the Mozilla project needs somebody to, e.g., translate support
documents from English to Danish, I would be happy to help.
Sooo... If you can use me, I would like to help out... :)

Thx!

Regards,

Søren Andersen

I never know where to redirect people for writing new docs,
but if you want to translate--and we do need translators--
I know a few places to look. :)

The Mozilla Localization Project translates the actual
program itself. If you want to get involved with that,
contact the Danish translation team -- their info is
listed on
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/mlp_status.html

If you want to translate documentation, I'd start with the
Mozilla 1.5 Start Page
http://www.mozilla.org/start/1.5/
and pick documents linked off there.

Most mozilla.org pages are wrapped; you need to translate
a copy of the unwrapped source. To get that, click on the
Edit This Page link at the bottom and copy the source from
the textarea into an empty text file.

I recommend checking with the MLP Danish translators to
see if there's already a site for Danish documentation
translations. If there isn't, email me and I'll see if
we can host it on mozilla.org.

Thanks! I'll go have a chat with them, and see what happens.
Thank you for the very constructive response...! :)
