[Typo3-marketing] Request for help and advice

[Kari Salovaara]

Good morning marketing group,

I'm not sure if this is right forum to ask these question or advices but 
I still try.

Background, as some of You know I've been using Typo3 since (?) veeeeery 
early releases. I'm chief translator for Finnish and my colleague is for 
Swedish. We have some 30 sites done with Typo3. Now we have got some 
other Finns awake trying to use Typo3 and they insist that some 
extensions should be translated immediately and of course in both these 
languages. Finnish language has been normally 100% translated but lately 
I have been busy and lacking at little in  translations, in Swedish 
situation is worse due limited time resources and lack of volunteers who 
skillful enough.

Questions;

- Should the degree of translation situation be shown somewhere in 
marketing material? Or should translation be at all marketed ? This is 
because I need quite of 4 languages, Finnish, Swedish, English and 
German and one of the is usually missing. Sometimes I need also 
Estonian, Danish and Russian and it makes me situation even more 
difficult. Note: extensions can be translated by domain/installation 
basis if there is somebody doing the translation locally, but in this 
case Typo3 will lose one of its' powerful arguments.

- Which are the up-to-date guidelines and rules to verbal sponsorship of 
Typo3 ? I mean use of colors and logos, how links etc should be used 
when supporting Typo3 use and development on national pages or on pages 
where consulting company presents its tools. This last relates also my 
personal interests as I'll do a subdomain in Finnish for Typo3 during 
summertime. But at the moment I need this info to "advice" some Finnish 
consulting companies because from their pages it's difficult to 
understand that they have not developed Typo3 (, You got the hint?).

Sorry of this long email just before 1st of May, but actually I'm a 
little bit desperate due "spamming" of some Finnish newbies. And sorry 
if somebody sees this email off-topic on this list, I think this is 
right list in anyway.


Cheers,
Kari
