Hi Glen,

Translations of various elements only finished last Thursday.

I think we should treat the translations for the CKAN site and the
translations for the Drupal content as separate as they have different
workflows for how they get into the site and thus the timelines are
different. As previously discussed the deadline for supplying any amends to
the translations was last Wednesday which we extended to Friday to give the
translators more time.

This deadline was there because in order for the site to launch on the
agreed date we need to be packaging up all of our work on the data
section, (including the translations) and give it to 10F during the first
half of this week.  However from our call earlier it sounds as if the
translators haven't been able to review the translations in place and there
may be other small content amends you'd like to make.

With this in mind it sounds like we need to give more time for this review
to occur but this is a decision for Agnieszka and Jurgen (from Tenforce)
who are project managing the overall release. If you would like to go ahead
with a content/translation review then please advise them of a date by
which the translators could realistically achieve this review and then we
can re-plan from there with Tenforce.

Note - We have updated the demo site with the latest translations so the
review can start as soon as the translators are available.
