Do you speak another language apart from English? Have you got a little bit of spare time over the next week?

CKAN 1.6 is set to release in one week’s time and all the new features need translating. Can you help us complete it in time? If you can spend 15 minutes filling in the gaps using the Transifex website, then not only will community CKANs in your country benefit (e.g. Czech, Swedish, French etc), but so will the international CKANs run in your language! (e.g. thedatahub.org, datacatalogs.org, publicdata.eu)

These are the languages and how complete the translations are:
