Open Stack

Dear language coordinators & translators!

Only a few weeks left before official Pike release [1] and I would like 
to inform
you that the last week was the Soft StringFreeze period.

Language teams need to focus on Horizon and Horizon-related projects
before all translated strings will be packaged for upcoming release.

According to the dashboard on https://translate.openstack.org, our targeted
priorities look as follows:

- Dashboard - Horizon (High)
- Dashboard Authorization Page (High)
- Magnum UI (Medium)
- Trove Dashboard (Medium)
- Sahara Dashboard (Medium)
- neutron-lbaas-dashboard (Medium)
- Murano Dashboard (Low)
- Designate Dashboard (Low)
- TripleO UI (Low)


All of those and more additional target projects grouped in [2] in 
*master* branch
and current & next PTL will check feature freeze status on projects 
listed above.
He will create a stable version: *stable-pike* in Zanata for the target 
projects after the project have stable/pike branch.

Although the stable version has not been created yet, but it is highly 
encouraged to translate those projects from now,
since StringFreeze periods are relatively short (about 2 weeks of RC1, 
then HardStringFreeze).

For more details on how I18n team is doing with releases (especially 
Horizon & plugin projects), please see [3].

If you have questions, feel free to ask through
openstack-i18n at lists.openstack.org mailing list or ask  I18n members on
Freenode #openstack-i18n channel.


Thank you all for your contribution!
