I'm happy to report that on http://localize.drupal.org, the past month have seen British English, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, Lolspeak (yes, lolspeak), Persian (Farsi), Punjabi, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian and Tamil added; growing the list from 33 languages to 44. We've also grown to almost 500 contributors which means about 11 contributors per language on average.

Focus on the past few weeks was on improving the user interface and submission feedback on imports as well as adding test coverage for imports and fix some odd bugs found by active users. The freshly deployed new import screen is now much more usable, showing what will exactly happen when either option is chosen:

We've seen people having problems with the attribution and status options before, given that they were checkboxes assuming a default behavior from where one could divert. Now all paths are clearly explained, so those importing .po files should know exactly the results to expect.

We've also worked on fixing bugs. Claudiu Cristea was very active submitting suggested fixes which got refined, committed and deployed. Thanks to those efforts, the translation view screen now handles plurals properly, languages with more then 2 plural variants got the plural string copied to those further fields as well and the moderation screen now properly remembers the selected filters on form submissions. I've also worked on signaling errors for modules which have empty strings to translate.

Work is still ongoing towards an improved translation interface, first breaking out more granular permissions for moderation. Help and testing is - as always - welcome!
