14th October 2008 declated as the Package Translation deadline for Fedora 10
The last date of submission of translations of packages for Fedora 10 has been announced as 14th October 2008 (Tuesday).[1] This announcement was made after an unanimous decision by the Fedora L10n Steering Committee (FLSCo) members. The last date for the translation of Documents remains as 21st October 2008 (Tuesday).
A request for rebuilding of packages post the translation freeze date, was also made to the Fedora-Devel-Announcement List.[2]
"Maintainers of the above packages need to put a reminder to issue a new build *later* than this date and before the Development Freeze of 21/10. The closer to the development freeze the rebuild takes place, the better for our translators. If you have not received any translations since the last build, a rebuild is not necessary."
