At the OpenTracker site , they announced the start of their own Locale Kit project. Here's what they said about it:

The OpenTracker umbrella contains a new project: the creation of a full-fledged BeOS Locale Kit. The project aims to be compatible to existing translation efforts as much as possible but deliver an adequate solution for all (or almost all) localisation issues.

The Kit is currently in its planning and design stages, you can find a first draft of its headers in the CVS repository; the discussion is going on in the developer forum - we are very interested in input from native speakers of non "Western" languages (especially Asian languages).
This Kit is going to be used by the localized version of Tracker/Deskbar in the next release (which focusses on usability).

So what about it? Do you want to contribute? Or you have something else to say about it? You can discuss it over at our OpenTracker Forum. Tomorrow we'll bring you more news about OpenTracker, so stay tuned.

I'd like to thank Oscar Lesta, for the auxiliary heads up on this one.
