IPFire protects networks all over the world, from home offices in Brazil to schools in Romania and companies in Japan. But until now, the people who look after those networks have mostly had to do it in English or in one of a handful of other languages. Core Update 205 changes that. It is now easier than ever for anyone to bring IPFire into their own language, and we would love for you to be part of it.

Usually that takes a couple of hours, but for one architecture, it has been taking days. What we call a Nightly Build has actually been taking more than a whole weekend; we needed to get it back down to something that could finish overnight.
