After releasing Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.5, I got a lot of responses and bug reports from you. Again, I would like to thank you for supporting Ubuntu Tweak!

Before preparing the next major or bug-fixed version, I have another news for you: UTCOM(http://ubuntu-tweak.com) have just been updated!

As the applications/sources web center, UTCOM plays an important role for supporting Ubuntu Tweak.

UTCOM is designed for user oriented, this means everybody can submit or rating applications/sources (more exciting features are coming and it’s still under development).

After about half-year’s running, I’ve already seen that you’ve contributed lots of applications/sources. Many of them have been included into Ubuntu Tweak.

UTCOM hasn’t got any improvement in the past half year, because I have been busy with my work and Ubuntu Tweak itself. Now it’s started again, this first wave of update comes.

Let’s see what’s new:

The Category Page (http://ubuntu-tweak.com/app/category/ or http://ubuntu-tweak.com/source/category/)

The old category page was ugly, because it was merely a semi-manufactured product.

Now it’s got a beautiful design, which shows the top 4 applications of each category. Lovely, isn’t it?

Sources supporting Maverick

UTCOM is ready for the upcoming Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. Why not submit some experimental PPA/Sources for Maverick? UTCOM will accept them, and they might comes to Ubuntu Tweak finally.

There’s still many works to do for adding more user-oriented feature for UTCOM.

Thank you!

Here is the guide.

First of all, UTCOM is slight different from normal application, it is website application powered by django, mainly consists of three parts: appcenter, sourcecenter and utcom.

You can start translate by choosing one “series”, by default it is “utcom series”, but “appcenter” and “sourcecenter” need to be translated too.

If you can’t find your language, you need to set which language translation will be available for you. Visit this link to set: which languages you want to work with

Finally, You can start the translation. I will merge your work to the website regularly.

Thanks all the contributors! For more details, you can visit: Launchpad Translate Help
