Translate OI applications (medium)

completed by: kendhia

mentors: Randy McEoin, Friedger Müffke, Peli, aap, Manuel R. Ciosici

The task is to translate the strings appearing in the OI applications at Launchpad. Depending on the number of strings you want to translate, select an easy (at least 100 strings), medium (at least 200 strings), or hard (at least 400 strings). The language you translate into MUST be your mother tongue. Please study the Launchpad translation guidelines before starting your translations. The translations should sound professional. If in doubt, please ask your parents or teachers about proper translation of technical terms. Let your parents or teachers check your translations.

IMPORTANT: Before translating directly at Launchpad, send a text file containing 10 untranslated strings from OI applications and their translation to OpenIntents, with a link to the untranslated strings at Launchpad. Only after your sample translation items have been approved and you have received our OK, should you continue to translate all remaining strings directly at Launchpad. If you translate directly at Launchpad before your 10 sample items have been approved, OpenIntents reserves the right not to accept your entry and remove your translations from Launchpad.
