If you can... I was thinking of this system which can translate POs. It's not hard to do, just take all the PO's from one project (KDE/Gnome/whatever) and scan all single word MSGID, and save also the translation into Hebrew.po.

Well gentoo is easy to develop (develop what? kde? gnome?), but a hell to install. You need to know MANY aspects of linux before you can start, otherwise you will not be able to use it unless you print the manual. Many people (non developers) have problems reading, and the computer manuals are really not in a language they can read (even if it's Hebrew, or their mother thong). Upgrading such a machine is a mess, and you are not really releasing anything to the user, you have no control of over the things the user is *actually* installing, it depends on user flags, or compilers. (gentoo moves the power to the user, but as a distro maker, you need that power). ubuntu is too new and young. Yes, the package system is good and stable, but we (the community) do not have experience with this DISTRIBUTION: how it upgrades, installs, behaves on different machines, Hebrew support, HW detection. This can only come from experience, and time. We still need to know how good the developers core of ubuntu is. -- diego, kde-il translation team, http://www.kde.org/il Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
