Just go to http://code.google.com/p/n900-extra-...ns/issues/list
and add a new issue were you ask the files for your language to be created.

While I applaud the translation effort I'm a little worried about licensing of these strings - the en_US seems to be based off msgunfmt and dragged out from the currently (closed source?) Nokia strings?
In my licensing-cautious head, this strikes me as making them a bit tainted..
(That said, there seems to be indications the string licensing situation may improve which I'm immensely looking forward to)

I "know" that Nokia will not exercise their rights on this effort. The pity though, is that it will not support it and the work by their supporters and contributors will need to be double to achive this and moreover they will need to repeat it at every major version of Maemo.
If anyone knows an issue, brainstorm or similar to vote/follow please provide a link.

All times are GMT. The time now is 19:13.
Thanks to firstfan, it is easy to add the Greek language (or any other language) using his project n900-locales-extras, since he has taken the responsibility for packaging locales for different languages.
I have already asked him and he has generated all the files needed to be translated.
Now, if you feel like helping, here is how:
First you need to create an account at www.transifex.net (if you don't have one already)
There is a nice video to show you how the translations are done - It's really simple.
Then, hop at: http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/...ns/c/main/l/el choose a component and start translating.
Other useful links:
Conversation (in Greek) for the translation work is done here
