Hello Heiko,

thank you for your quick reply.

No, that's not true anymore. Meanwhile the Schleifer dialect has a 
written standard and literature. There is the society „Kólesko“ at 
Schleife which takes care of the preservation of the dialect and has 
published books, including a grammar of the dialect:

Yes, it's still a private initiative of mine but I am in contact with a 
Sorbian woman from the society at Schleife and they already work with 
Firefox and Thunderbird in the dialect of Schleife which I've already 
translated. And later, if all three projects are official translation 
projects, I will inform the Sorbian digitalization concept team so they 
won't be my private projects anymore.

LibreOffice is fully translated into Upper Sorbian and Lower Sorbian 
(escept some fresh strings), the other projects are for LibreOffice Help 
only. So I think that I will have time enough to translate into the 
dialect of Schleife.

Kind regards,

Michael
