On my last visit back home a couple of friends "complained" for the lack of a Greek translation for Maemo. I promptly responded: "The beauty/power of open source is that WE can correct that!!" and everybody looked at me even more puzzled!!

Thanks to firstfan, it is easy to add the Greek language (or any other language) using his project n900-locales-extras, since he has taken the responsibility for packaging locales for different languages.
I have already asked him and he has generated all the files needed to be translated.

Now, if you feel like helping, here is how:

First you need to create an account at www.transifex.net (if you don't have one already)
There is a nice video to show you how the translations are done - It's really simple.

Then, hop at: http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/...ns/c/main/l/el choose a component and start translating.
