OpenStreetMap

The main OpenStreetMap website can now be translated on the web using Translatewiki. I originally floated the idea in July and after meeting up with the maintainers of Translatewiki at Wikimania 2009 we made it happen. Nikerabbit and Siebrand (Translatewiki guys) have done some great work on making this happen.

If you want to translate OpenStreetMap site you can now do so at the Translatewiki site.

Since it was imported yesterday from the OpenStreetMap SVN server we've had 1500 edits to the translations by 10 different users. 9 of those are to languages that didn't have translations already (although they're still small):

These translations aren't automatically being synced back to the OpenStreetMap SVN repository yet. Me and Nikerabbit have been fixing bugs in the import/export process required to make this happen. Those bugs don't affect translations on Translatewiki.net, but it might be a few days before we can start committing back so the translated strings will show up on the OpenStreetMap site.

So please go to Translatewiki and help make OpenStreetMap available in your language!
