Hey!
I love KolibriOS. What about a german Version?
Can someone explain why there is no german version?

Maybe i can translate it to german!

(PS: I'm new, don't even know if this is the right way to ask something...)

Hi, paitorocxon. :)

The German version is not available because there are no German developers or German speakers in the KolibriOS team.

If there is a desire to make a German version, and it apparently is there, then you can try, i think the KolibriOS development team will be happy any help.

I am a German speaker, but used to English. Would be cool to have the option, though.

By the way, welcome to kolibri os ;-)

Thanks!

In germany alot of germans speak english but none of them really wants to use a os wich is in english or russian. So i do my best and try to translate it! Maybe it helps to rise Kolibri os a bit more.
And to baggacfreak i say: Tachschen! Are you a developer or a user of Kolibri os? In that case that you're a developer, maybe we could work together?

Hi,

no problem. I am a (let's say) advanced user. I have done the homepage translation to German and helped out whereever it was possible for me, e.g. suggested the kickstarter instead of Google Summer Coding. Last year I did some videos on the progress of netsurf browser (which I always pushed because of its outreach to new usecases), my tests with kos and keep on doing them as help is needed. Check out my youtube playlist or search on youtube for kolibrios and you will most likely find videos from myself. I do not program, but would love to see some more developers here. Feel free to ask for testing!

Yours BaGgAcFrEaK!

If you want the German version - do it.
For example:
Duplicate and rename the English directory to German one in your svn copy
Edit tup file.
Do some translations, german settings, checks that everything goes Ok
Load results to svn
etc.
The road begins with the first step.
