+<h2><a name="1._Introduction"></a>1. Introduction</h2>
+<div style="margin-left: 40px;">Starting with a short survey in June
+2004, Sun Globalization (G11n) Engineering group responsible for
+localization of several SO/OO.o languages has been working with
+corresponding OO.o
+community leads to improve collaboration effort in translation and
+localization testing (<a
+ href="http://l10n.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=358&expandFolder=358&folderID=358">meeting
+minutes</a>). These languages are: <br>
+<br>
+<div style="margin-left: 40px;">German<br>
+French<br>
+Italian<br>
+Spanish<br>
+Swedish<br>
+Brazilian Portuguese<br>
+Japanese<br>
+Korean<br>
+Simplified Chinese<br>
+Traditional Chinese<br>
+<br>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div style="margin-left: 40px;">In short, we (Sun G11n,
+OO.o communities) have agreed on a set of high level goals, identified
+each other's capacity, shared the processes and tools, and agreed to
+experiment collaborative work in OO.o 2.0/SO8 l10n based on shared
+goals. This web page provides current status of
+such effort.
+Also available on this page are links to the tools that Sun G11n has
+been using for translation and localization testing for various Sun
+products and services.<br>
+<br>
+As it is called a pilot, tools and processes mentioned here are not in
+their final state and may need enhancement (hence, this webpage
+for
+everyone who cares!). Also the languages referred on this page limit to
+those that are listed
+above at this time.<br>
+<br>

+</h3>
+<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
+- We experiment joint effort on -a subset of- immediate release (i.e.
+OO.o2.0/SO8), in the areas of translation, linguistic review, and
+localization testing<br>
+- We assess existing Sun G11n tools and processes in comparison to the
+others that are known to the Community<br>
+- We enhance communication between each other.<br>

+<h3><a name="2.2_Long_Term"></a>2.2 Long Term</h3>
+<div style="margin-left: 40px;">- We join forces throughout product
+releases to ensure quality of
+localized OO.o/SO products, by collaborating in the areas of
+translation, linguistic review, and localization testing<br>
+- We set up a localization process that is easy to follow, open, and
+can
+be shared with all OO.o Communities<br>

+<h2><a name="3._Translation"></a>3. Translation</h2>
+<h3><a name="3.1_Process"></a>3.1 Process</h3>
+<div style="margin-left: 40px;">Most of SO translation is
+outsourced today. For several languages, there are linguists within Sun
+G11n who evaluate the quality of
+translations and ensure consistent quality across Sun's localized
+products. Due to a historical reason being that Sun has provided all
+translations in the past, most Communities have expressed that they're
+not experienced in translation. In the pilot process, we have agreed
+that the Community translates and quality-assures a
+small portion of translatable component (UI, Online Help), while Sun
+G11n provides the rest of translation. Each of Sun's linguists and the
+corresponding Community have formed a team to ensure the translation
+quality of the product. There are some languages that Sun will continue
+to provide translation of entire OO.o2.0/SO8 content, and the reasons
+are indicated below:<br>
+<ul>
+ <li>German - Community lead expressed that there are no volunteers
+for translation, perhaps because they may not see the needs ("Sun
+provides excellent quality German SO already.")</li>
+ <li>Korean - There are not enough contributors or members in the
+Korean OO.o Community yet.</li>
+ <li>Swedish - There is no OO.o Community.<br>
+ </li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+<div style="margin-left: 40px;">As the rest of the Communities
+contributes to translation at this time, they also experiment
+translation tools that are developed and used by Sun G11n.<br>

+<h4>3.2.1 At a glance</h4>
+<div style="margin-left: 40px;">Sun has developed and is currently
+using several tools in its translation process. Sun is looking into
+open-sourcing them for further enhancement and wider acceptance in the
+Open Source communities:<br>
