Translators needed!

We're preparing to release CKAN 1.8 in about two weeks' time. A few parts of the interface are new, and so some words and sentences need translating from English to a number of other languages before the release. If you can translate into any of these languages, please help! You can contribute translations, and help keep CKAN open to people across the world, by signing up here. If there is currently no translation of CKAN into your language, and you'd like to start or contribute to one, you can do that too by signing up. If you have any problems get in touch via the ckan-dev list.
