Fwd: Translating Ubuntu for phones into English (Australia) by RTM

[David Planella]

Hi Michael,

You should find all the info, including how to contribute, on:

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-en-au

But in a nutshell, that page points to a link with the word substitutions
from en_US to en_AU:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Projects/Translation/WordSubstitution

Cheers,
David.
