Currently, Localization of most used messages and core is   Done. 1 message is remained in extension used by Wikimedia.--Kwj2772 08:37, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At this moment, there is not enough activity on the Incubator. It is the reason why things do not proceed. The localisation effort is duly noted.. Thanks, GerardM 12:30, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will give it another spirit and make it more active.--Mardetanha talk 21:11, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
