I appreciate you answers, really. 

For other people, you can contact me at any time, I'd be glad. 

What I have seen so far, the situation in Europe//Indo-European languages is 
quite homogeneous - between 3-10 people, no governmental support except some 
languages, maybe part of cultural association or in communication via mailing 
lists... This could be the case in India and South Africa. I ignore what's 
happening elsewhere -- and, as you correctly pointed, for most languages lack 
of technology is the thing. 

My thoughts right now is that translators lack an international forum to 
discuss l10n, that not only affect one single project. As well, we should 
start conceiving l10n at the language level  rather than at the project level 
(consistency, efficiency...). 	That's what we are trying to so here with 
Galician.

thanks again, 

Miguel Branco
