There is no Polish translation of whole Maemo

But it’s already in the works and coming soon. See here:

Tomasz: There is no Polish translation of whole Maemo so I use English language for interface and Polish regional settings. And that’s why Dates are not translated on screenshots.

The Pimlico project’s Polish translations are maintained by me. Tasks, Dates and Contacts are fully translated most of the time (I check and update them once a month). I’m wondering why the full translation isn’t used. Were the packages stripped off of templates before the upstream vendor compiled the source? It would make sense for unsupported locales (to save space), but maybe there’s a way to add them back?

Ad: The problem is that many Maemo apps do not use time/date informations from locale but have them as part of translation.

This screenshot show how Pimlico Dates looks on OS2008 with Polish locale installed.

And this how it looks with one of vendor provided locales (English UK).

Notice change of day and month names.

deckardnc: Why I thought that sooner or later someone will ask about it :D

I will look what can be done and use OpenEmbedded to generate packages for all glibc 2.5 supported locales. It just need small change to get Section set to user/i18n so AppManager will be able to install them.
