I would like to use Norwegian in the welcome/subscribe/unsubscribe/confirm etc messages from mailman3. For my current project I want all future mailing lists to have Norwegian as default. I find some sporadic info on the subject, but it's fair to say that I would like some simple instructions (e.g. what to copy from where to where, and which configs to change).
I18n for Mailman 3 isn’t really feasible right now. There’s a lot of underlying support for it in the code base, but what we’ve lacked is the resources to set up all the translations, extract the source strings from the code and templates, and integrate the catalogs. We usually block on the selection of a translation service that adheres enough to the free software ideals for a GNU project like Mailman, and someone with the free time and inclination to help shepherd the work.
Recently it was suggested to use translatewiki.net, which seems like it would be acceptable from a GNU view point. Many of us would be willing to help set up such a thing, but we need a champion who has time to work out all the details. Given that Mailman 2 was one of the first fully i18n’d Python programs in the world, it is an important project goal to translate Mailman 3.
