guido:
we translated here in madrid to spanish the whole framework about 2
months ago, but it is still pending for corrections and revisions. i
propose, that we try to find all together, or a team of
representatives from different countries, what we agree to be the
spanish international version (_es) and let everyone build the
spanish localized version for his country as an overwrite extension
to this one. a discussion forum with a thread for every term or
language construction that are different from country to country is
probably better for this purpose than wiki.
to translate ofbiz to spanish correctly, and to other languages as
well, there is a need for relabeling some properties. this has to be
a community work for doing so for all languages. we should find out
the relabeling (and re-factoring) needed for spanish. we have to ask
the core developers about these changes, but i expect it not to be a
problem.
your glossary is already a very good starting point!
