Hi

If you look on your GPS (an old fashioned world paper map will do just fine ..) & look at the Southern point of Africa, there is a country called SOUTH AFRICA. (The Netherlands is smaller than my neighborhood … well almost! ).

You cater for Dutch like everyone BUT we have eleven official languages of which you cater for one only i.e. English. The second language is Afrikaans which is spoken by more people than the whole Dutch Population !!!!.

Except for Microsoft (partially) nobody seems to care about us and AFRIKAANS? ….. then there is 10 languages left, I suggest you start with ISIZULU (ZULU) and ISIXHOSA (XHOSA) and ISISOTHO (SOTHO).

However, although AFRIKAANS is recognized as a ‘world’ language, wouldn’t it just be great if EVERNOTE is the first to implement it ?

Kind Regards

There are over 7 million inhabitants in Catalonia, most of whom speak the Catalan language. There are over 11 million speakers in all the official Catalan-speaking territories. There are many more Catalan speakers in the rest of the world due to the diaspora. That’s more than Danish,Norwegian, Flemish, Finnish, Swedish, Hebrew, Bulgarian, Estonian, Lithuanian, Slovak, Croatian, Afrikaans, and not far behind Czech and Greek.

Most Catalan speakers would much prefer applications in their native tongue but are so used to putting up with having to make do with Spanish/Castilian localizations that sometimes it doesn’t even occur to them to protest/request. World renowned companies such as Nokia, Siemens, Google, Mozilla, etc., have already recognized the importance of Catalan and have localized the interfaces of their products in this language. I hope Evernote will consider seriously following in their footsteps very soon. I offer my collaboration in any future translation project in this area.

Perhaps Evernote could sound out the amount of enthusiasm for Catalan in a way that would reach the maximum number of users. Maybe a quick “advert” in the publicity window of the application, similar to the call for translators or the “advertise here” one? To help you, the translation in Catalan of “Would you like to see Evernote translated into Catalan? To request it, click here” is “Voldríeu veure Evernote traduit al català? Per demanar-ho, cliqueu aquí”.

Many thanks for a great product, even though it sometimes has difficulty accepting words in my own native language: British English!
