Internationalization and Localization

Welcome to the OpenSolaris Portals Project

Having opensolaris.org content written in multiple languages is critical for engaging developers and users in non English-speaking countries. That's what this project is all about -- translating the OpenSolaris website into many languages. See the discussions page for further background.

The OpenSolaris engineering team has provided opensolaris.org templates to a limited number of community portal teams. The portals are basically temporary project spaces on opensolaris.org altered to look like the main site but within top level country domains. The point here is to create multilingual sites within the main English site to provide non-English developers an entrance into OpenSolaris in their own language. Over time, the portals will grow to include as much local material as is required to support a given community within the meta OpenSolaris community.

The Portals Project will create and manage the process of who translates what and who maintains the portals -- which all live on the central opensolaris.org infrastructure. The site infrastructure will evolve, and we expect more support for internationalization going forward. For right now, though, consider the country portals a v1.0 implementation. Each country portal has leaders, just as any project on opensolaris.org, and those leaders are responsible for maintaining their portals. This is a community project. Sun employees participate, but Sun is not funding the translation of the portals.

Proposing New Portals

The Portal Project is not accepting proposals for new portals at this time. We are now participating in the specification and implementation of the new opensolaris.org website, which will more fully support localization and enable us to translate the website into many more languages and build more language communities. Bring your questons about any of this to i18n-discuss.
