We have listened you xD:
Asturian OpenOffice [1] (done), thanks to catalan and galician team for
all support. We think we could see OpenOffice 3.2 in Asturian in January
2010 xD

Yes... I know his work.

At this moment, the translations for Firefox are approved and we are
waiting it be built like others.
The problem is the localization in Firefox. It's a really, really
mess... After a few attempts (2 years!!), we could complete the Firefox
translations using "narro" [2]. Thanks again to catalan team, and
Alexandru Szasz, ...I'm his worst knightmare :)

I don't know if using Narro is the best way to translate in Firefox....
I'm lost. (You have to translate it first here [2] and then export a
source file, and send this file to a bug [3], for be included with the
rest of translations. We are still waiting :S ) 
This is a slow proccess. We are close to Firefox 3.6, but I'm wondering
if we must repeat the same for 3.7 or so.... I would like to know how
the rest of languages do their translations for Firefox, because I think
I'll go crazy.

I think this time I'll wait to see results in Firefox 3.6 using narro.
After that I'll decide about convenience of using this tool or using
another tool.... Maybe it would be great a tool to export from Launchpad
to Firefox directly... I'm only a translator, not a programmer :S
