Changes to JomSocial 2.2 language files

JomSocial 2.0 is still fresh from the oven, but in the spirit of sharing, we want to give a heads up for everyone for the upcoming changes in JomSocial 2.2 language files. In order to support Joomla! 1.6 (hint!), JomSocial language file will have to undergo a massive revamp.

We have also decided to revamp the translation code along the way to clean up and streamline some of the redundant/repetitive language code.  This should make for a more compact, accurate and more maintainable language file. Unfortunately, this means that language file for existing JomSocial 2.0 and below will no longer work with JomSocial 2.2 and later,  and this is where we need your help.

We will be opening a new official translation group. Our aim is that we should be able to ship JomSocial 2.2 with as many official translation as possible.We are hoping to open our main repository or set up some automated system where you guys can contribute the language file easily.

If you guys are interested in joining the official translation group, please put your name down at our translation forum. Supporting multiple languages is without a doubt one of the strong point of JomSocial, and so far we have had over 100 language packages posted by our keen community.

Personally, I can only speak 2.1 languages (the 0.1 being some Japanese during my school days!), but with your help JomSocial can do a lot better!
