<h3>Internationalization</h3>
182
Mailman 2.1 is fully internationalized. This means you can add
183
translations of all the email and web templates so that your users can
184
interact with your mailing lists in their native language.
185
Internationalization is handled as follows:
188
<li>Each Mailman installation has a server default language.
189
Mailman ships with US English as the server default.
191
<p><li>Mailman comes with many supported languages, and if your
192
language is on that list, it will just work.
194
<p><li>Individual list owners can choose which languages they'd
195
like their mailing list to support from the suite of site-enabled
196
languages. The list owner can also select the list's default
197
language. Mailing lists can thus be monolingual (with English or
198
any other installed language as the default), or they can be
201
<p><li>Individual users can choose what their preferred language
202
is, from the set of list-enabled languages. Thus, if a list is
203
multilingual, the user can choose which language they'd prefer
204
when interacting with Mailman.
207
It must be noted that Mailman never actually translates the messages
208
that flow through its mailing lists. It's up to the list members to
209
adhere to their community's language conventions.
211
<h3>Mailman Language Champions</h3>
213
Each language translation has a champion who coordinates updates and
214
submits them to the Mailman project. If the language you are
215
interested is listed here, please contact the champion for details.
216
If your language is not listed here, or if you have general questions
217
about I18N Mailman, please contact the
218
<a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-i18n"
219
>mailman-i18n@python.org</a> mailing list.
221
<p>We are investigating using the
222
<a href="http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/">Translation
223
Project</a> for future language support.
