Cinnamon translations efforts underway!
A translation template for Cinnamon was generated and uploaded to Launchpad at https://translations.launchpad.net/linuxmint/isadora/+pots/cinnamon
The Linux Mint translation teams will translate Cinnamon, just like they translate Mint tools and packages at the moment, but if you feel like giving them a hand don’t hesitate to do so.
Unlike other Linux Mint translation templates (which get packaged in “mint-translations”), translations for Cinnamon will of course be packaged as part of Cinnamon itself.
This template contains not only the character strings for Cinnamon itself, but also for its underlying St library, all the applets included by default and the Cinnamon Settings configuration tool.
It’s pretty big.. 342 sentences to translate in each language, but once everything is in place this will ensure people can run Cinnamon, fully localized, in their own language.

Finally my mom won’t get confused with which button is the “off” button. Time to get translating to Spanish.
Hola, Carlos… Antes que nada, gracias por la traducción. Sin embargo, tengo un problema: soy bastante nuevo en esto y no sé qué hacer a continuación. Ya me bajé el archivo cinnamon_cinnamon-es.po… qué debo hacer ahora? Gracias!
No es necesario bajarse el archivo PO, se puede hacer directamente en línea:

Y la traducción ya viene integrada con Cinnamon. Simplemente baja la actualización y listo.

Why do we have translation 52? It seems like a remnant of GNOME Shell.
Translating to Catalan
hello, I will assist you on the French language nederlands good to you and Cecile
No tengo cuenta en launchap, pero desde aqui me gustaria advertir a quien está haciendo la traducción al español que ‘To remove’ en inglés es ‘Quitar’ o ‘Retirar’ en español, no ‘Remover’.
Espero que no se moleste quien está haciendo todo el trabajo de traducir al español.
Polish translation also finished and reviewed!
Thanks Clem!
Slovak translation finished.
It was great honour to contribute a little bit to such wonderful project.
Yep! Russian translation is completed!
Translated to Lithuanian, someone needs to review though…
How to check translation on workin cinnamon? Is is possible currently somehow?
Cinnamon 1.4 is out, and the translation files are attached with the debs/rpms so all what you have to do is to install the new version

thanks
Translating in Greek, as well…
I added some translations el.po.. I send the patch to github.

Please don`t leave Cinnamon project!
So far, I love cinnamon much more then GNOME 3. It’s lightwight, fast, stable, and the “Looking Glass” feature is wonderful. I only have one complaint, and it’s a big one. WHERE IS THE “SWITCH USER” BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really Like Cinnamon! It feels as if it is very malleable and that it happens a lot with the development of cinnamon (fast pace). Lacks the ability to more desktop effects settings. Need not be as much as Compiz has to be good even. Something that I miss in the desktop environment and not just in cinnamon is the possibility of a theme at the login window. That you can change the background image and some icons are not Enough, I want to be able to download a theme and install. Much like it was in Gnome (many versions ago). Perhaps this is more a project for Linux Mint in general (to create opportunities for login window themes). The only problem I had with my computer and Cinnamon is that when I click the menu button it can take quite a long time before the menu appears. Have solved this by installing mint menu applet (use it instead of the original menu). I would be very happy if something happens with the development of screen savers. The KDE environment, it’s a lot of nice screensavers. Cinnamon desktop environment is not even a single screen saver installed by default.
Although I think that much can be improved with Cinnamon desktop environment. I think you are doing a great job with this desktop environment! Thank you!
I updated to the nightly an now all my menus are in Korean I think. How do I reset them to English?
I joined the French translation team
