OpenSource Globalization (G11N)

Turkish glossary on OpenSolaris.org

Wednesday Jun 20, 2007

It's been almost half a year since Multi-lingual Glossary project was opened on OS.o (Dec 2006). And I was pleasantly surprised some days ago to find out that many terms and definitions have been translated into Turkish by a community contributor named Suleyman Senturk (username: Suleyman)!

Not only Turkish is a new addition to our collection of languages for the glossary, but also the contributor is a student. Those of us who started the project had a vision that the project would develop to wonderful reference for Solaris technology. So I thought, I'd interview Suleyman who made my day! Here's his response:

I'm a university student. I'm educating computer engineering. I haven't got experience with programming. I'm interested in translations before some other softwares (small applications). Also I'm interest with open source OS, softwares etc. I read an article somewhere about Sun Solaris free DVDs and I fill the form after take tour on Solaris site and saw translations section. I signed up and start to translate definitions and words which I know. These time I haven't got a lot of time for translation because I'm very busy with my exams :( .

At the nearest the time I will publish an article about Solaris and Internationalization project at my blog and all other important sites which publish in Turkish. My English Skill not well I hope I will develop myself I will help that time much more. But I'm sure in Turkey there are more people with interest translating and I'm sure some people are better than me. But I will be a pioneer :).

Great job! Thanks, with my hat off.
