[Language] Macedonian [Version number] All [OS details] All [Where is the poor translation?] There is no translation. Chromium is an open-source browser project, at least thats what it says on the project web site and yet it lacks a process for localization of the software in other languages. I want to translate Chromium in Macedonian, it's a language spoken by around only 2 million people, it's not supported in the current version cause Google only supports languages that are more widely used. There should be a process in place, including documentation, PO files (easiest way, all the open-source project use them) and a way to register localization teams in order to get Chromium localized in as much languages as possible. There is no easy way to localize Chromium in any other language than the languages that are supported by Google for Chrome.

Thank you very much for the offer. Internally, we have discussed the issue before, but haven't yet reached the stage of setting up all the infrastructure and other things necessary. Note that just translating strings is only a part of Chrome l10n. We also need CLDR (http://www.unicode.org/cldr ) data to be populated (it's also an open source project so that you can volunteer there). The most tedious part is the UI dimension.
