I am native Chinese speaker, and I have installed mailman-2.0.8 English version successfully on my computer, and I want to help building Chinese templates, what should I do then? Thanks for your attention. Best Regards Max Yu "Barry A. Warsaw" 写道：

Max, it would be really greate to get some updates to the Chinese templates and message catalogs. Please grab Mailman 2.1b1, and read the README-I18N.en file for instructions. Or grab them from the latest langpack file release on SF. When you're ready, you can send me updates to messages.po and the templates directory. Preferred mode of delivery is a tar file that I can un pack at the top of the source tree (i.e. in the parent directory of messages/ and templates/). Thanks, -Barry
