non-English?

OfflineHI -- can't find detailed answers to any of this anywhere (and not necessarily expecting them here, but here goes ;-)
1. what (any?) support for other languages are in the pipeline? My particular interest would be French/, but...
2. if you can answer (1) out of NDA, then will non-Latin languages also be supported ?
I'm in particular interested in Chinese and Arabic...
thx

Hello, I just discovered Calais and I'm amazed by the posibilities. I think the most important question in this thread was asked by the member asking for Hebrew support. He said: "is there something I can do to help it happen soon?"
I would like to double that to - not for Hebrew but for letting the community help expand the langauges supported by Calais. Have you ever think about that? How can the users help Calais expand in the "long tail" of languages other than 2-3 major ones?
Thank you.

It will be French in R4, to be released in Jan 09.
Roadmap for 2009 will be finalized soon, so we will share as soon as we can..
Is there any update on the status for the french version of this service? Looking forward to use it!
thanks a lot,
Patchak
Darrell,
It's always nice to be able to say Yes..
Additional languages are in the roadmap. We will be rolling out few languages in Q4, and then some more in Q1 '09. It is very likely that French will be one of them - but it's not final.
We will support also non-Latin languages (at least one in these releases), but I can't tell whether it's Chinese, Arabic or something else.
Stay tuned!

Hello Michal,
Are there any plans of supporting hebrew?
If not - is there something I can do to help it happen soon?
Thanks!
(oh, and BTW, which Drupal theme is it that you use on your website?)
Is german on the roadmap for Q4 08 or Q1 09?
German is planned for later in 2009, we don't have the exact timeline yet, but it won't be part of the Q4 08 release. Sorry..
Sorry to bumb into this discussion like that!
I would higly recommend to put german at importance rank no.1 besides english!
Check the google story!
Their first supported language besides englisch is german, one of therere reason is, that they have many german software engineers!
The other reason why you should care is:
The best variety and quality of news besides englisch is german, a big number of high quality newspaper.
I could give you list of hundres websites, i.e. financial websites
You will get a large german community, twice as big as french, spanish or italien in shorter time.
Cheers
Patrick
Ciao Michal,
what about italian?
Thanks a lot!
Ciao!
Probably some time in 2009 but the plan hasn't been finalized yet.
We will communicate the roadmap for language support later this year.
Grazie :)
Michal
thanks for that update. i look forward to that -- ps is there a public roadmap? if not, is there an NDA-cloaked version? very interested to see what the future holds...?

Hi,
I am following Calais' progress for my company. Our content is 100% in French. So even if Calais is a city in north of France, it seems French is not supported.
I remember a post earlier this year saying French would be supported during summer and now in this post fall to winter.
Bottom line : we do not have a clear vision.
So could you please have a roadmap page that would inform us of where you go with "probably" or "target date" attached to the dates if you need it. I am not asking for you to anticipate dates but to let us know what you are working on.
Thank you
Hey - any update on languages? Still reasonable to expect even one more (don't really care too much about which, "any" additional is interesting) in 2009?
thanks!
one more at the end of 2008.
and then more in 2009.
that's the plan.
It's only days until 2009, any news on the next languages that will be supported?
Anything lined up for Q1 of 2009, german maybe?
Whoooo I hope it's french, would be great!!
