Catalan Language is currently the seventh language in Europe with more than 12 millions of speakers in total. The European regions in which this language is spoken are Catalonia, The Valencian Country (where catalan is also known as "valencian"), the Balearic Islands, "Franja de Ponent" area (Aragón), the state of Andorra, L'Alguer region (Italy) and North Catalonia (France - Languedoc).

We vindicate the right to  Català/catalan be included in the list of languages available on Messenger Plus Live! again.

We think Messenger Plus Live! should keep expanding in that direction, including new languages that would call the attention and appeal more users if they can have one in their own mother tongue on default installer.

Catalan language has had a top-level internet domain .CAT since February 2006, with more than 30,000 sites with this domain until today.

Catalan translation is updated again by el_libre
Please, admins, make it official and include again on installer.

Hello, without entering into personal considerations, I would also like to see Catalan reintroduced into Messenger Plus! with the same status as any other language. Please.

hello everyone,

I would also be very happy to see catalan language again listed as an option.

@riahc4: as I see it, this is not a politic matter. there is a lot of people (like me for example) who have catalan as their mother tongue. there is a lot of activity of catalan culture on the net too, and there is nothing wrong in asking for something as simple as getting your language as an option for some software that wants to get to as many people as possible.

cheers!

It doesn't matter how many people speak it, or how many of them use the web......it's how many Messenger Plus! Live users of it there are.

I'm sure that if a large enough percentage of Plus' users were catalan speakers then it would be included by default

hello again,

@djdannyp: I agree. it's just a matter of numbers. as I am not into statistics, I couldn't tell how many of the Plus users would use catalan, but there is something that I would like to point out: Plus is an extension for Microsoft's Messenger. Windows Live Messenger can be installed in catalan. Microsoft must have their reasons for doing so.

best regards

plus is created by one person, with a limited budget

messenger has god knows how many staff in its team, and will have a budget thousands of times larger.


i can't see why anyone complains. what difference does it make if the installer includes your language or whether you have to add it yourself

please, let me repeat what i said before:

hi Choli,
this is a very good reason not to have it with the default languages...
maybe I'll try to contact people on charge of this translation and help a little bit if I can.
thanks and best wishes ,' )

Em sembla de mal gust que algú espanyol critiqui una llengua germana com és el català, i que ho faci algú que no la parla, ja que així està parlant una persona que DESCONEIX la situació REAL (convido a qui sigui que visiti BARCELONA a veure si té problemes per parlar, no ja en català, sinó en qualsevol altre llengua (English of course).
És molt trist treballar per a un projecte de forma voluntària i que la política d'alguns usuaris intenti impedir o menysprear aquest treball.
És molt trist que això ho digui gent que pertany a un projecte que no és un programa en sí, sino un AFEGIT d'un programa que sí està en la nostra llengua.

Dit això... ja està disponible la traducció al català per a MSG Plus Live 4.80 la qual seguirem publicant sempre que els usuaris que parlin aquest idioma ens ho demanin,com ha estat el cas, però no gràcies a determinats altres usuaris que són capaços de censurar l'esforç de difondre un programa a causa de la llengua en el que es fa.

PD: L'espanyol no és un idioma tan important, el xinés té més parlants i segurament més usuaris de MSG Plus Live.

I per demostrar que el català és important poden traduir aquest missatge fent servir Google Translate, segur que tot i ser una traducció automàtica s'entén el contingut del missatge perfectament.

Here it is in Spanish
Here it is in English

PD2:
- A causa de les traduccions automàtiques aclarem en que l'idioma del que hem fet la traducció és el català
-A causa de las traducciones automáticas aclaramos en que el idioma del que hemos hecho la traducción es el catalán
-Because automatic translations we say again that our translation is in catalan

el_libre, perdona que et contesti, però no estic d'acord amb la teva postura. El primer és que ningú ha criticat el català (ni menys jo, com poses a la teva pàgina). L'únic que hem fet és exposar les raons per les quals el català no està inclòs en la traducció actual i les raons per les quals no és immediat el tornar a incloure'l de nou.
