Fedora 9 will be released in a few days and our website will be

This is the time to send in those translations.

I have seen fedora-web.master.xx.po, a few questions:

1.What means "counter" in Fedora Release Counter? "计数器" a count
machine?

2.In "The lang parameter can be changed to display the counter in a
different language.  Currently, the values de, en, fi, fr, he, hu, is,
it, pt_BR, ro, sk, and sr are supported." sentence, why not include
zh_CN ?

3.What means "Make waves" in "Fedora 9.  Make waves."?
"兴风作浪"?

I personaly don't really like this "make waves" as it is a negative
expression : "to shock or upset people with something new or
different." [1]

Do we really want people to say Fedora 9 upset me ? I don't think so :)
Could it be "the new wave" instead ?

I guess this should come up on the -marketing-list.

In terms of this group, I encourage everyone to adapt the phrase as
they like in their language, if the phrase doesn't make sense in your
local language and idioms. I'd say change it completely if you think
it's best. That's why we call it "localization" and not just
"translation" right? :-)

In Greek I transferred it as "Waves of change".

1.Translated to  "the new wave" or "Waves of change", it enlighten me.
I transferred it as "Leading the trend" in Chinese :)

2.Please Note: I found “F8 Screenshot” in fedora-web.master.xxx.po . Is it wrong ?
