We are really happy to bring GNULinux.cat, the Catalan translation of GetGNULinux.org, into the spotlight again. The website has been thoroughly renewed over the last few weeks.
The list of improvements is long. We can start with the general cosmetics: every bit of the styling has been renovated for a softer, cleaner appearance, in line with the other languages. Many images have been added, several of which localized; and every single page now reflects the countless text changes that have been brought to the English website over the last year. Most of the credit here goes to Oriol Piera for his patient work and Rafael Carreras for the meticulous proof-reading.
Most importantly, GNULinux.cat is now ran by our on-line translation and website-building services. This means that anyone can contribute by suggesting or improving translated text strings, and the improved site can then be built and published by an admin with just two clicks. No more handling of XHTML code and static text files.
This update of the Catalan site also was the opportunity to bring a series of new screenshots on-line, on all websites. In addition, we have replaced the little flags on top of page by a menu, which allows switching languages easily. The menu avoids associating languages with countries (flags); we undertook extensive testing to make sure it would work in all browsers.
Within days, we will be announcing more exciting things, some of which you might guess with a peek at the translation interface.
