Google Web Fonts API Stats monitors the demand for fonts analysing the number of users viewing websites using the above fonts. To date, more than 13 million users viewed sites where PT Serif is used (it is over 5 million a month!). The demand for PT Sans is even more significant – more than 210 million users per month! It is ranked fourth in a huge list of the most used fonts. We hope to enter the top three in the nearest future. Figure 4. Top ten of the most popular fonts by Google Web Fonts API Stats PT Sans and PT Serif as free/libre fonts are freely available and distributed. They can be used, copied, modified, embedded in documents, etc. provided that both the original fonts and their derivatives or parts thereof are not used for commercial purposes, except for their usage as part of other commercial products. Fonts are available at www.fonts.ru/public and will be included with operating systems. The importance and significance of PT Sans – PT Serif fonts for multilingual visual communications was proved in 2011, when Apple Inc. included PT Sans into the Mac OS 10.7. Microsoft made a similar decision for Windows 8! Moreover, the website of the British Government redesigned in 2011 uses PT Sans and PT Serif among other fonts. Downing Street relying on Russian fonts for their typographic needs What is it if it is not undeniable success! 173
Emil ASANOV Director, VectorSoft Company (Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan) Localization of Free Software as a Means to Support Multilingualism and Information Literacy Development of the Population of Kyrgyzstan Localization is normally understood as both the process and the output of translation from one natural language (the source language) into another (the target language) of the software product interface and/or help system, as well as its messages. As far as Russian is concerned, such terms as “Russification” and “Russifier” are widely used to mean localization. RuNet has a great variety of sites dealing with software Russification. This report looks into the issue of the Kyrgyz translation (i.e. the Kyrgyz localization) of the most well-known and widespread free software products: OpenOffice and Mozilla Firefox. The former is a worthy rival of the Microsoft Corporation’s MS Office software suite, and the latter is a successful competitor of Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser. In Kyrgyzstan, like in all the other CIS countries, the Windows Operating System is the most widespread and comfortable user environment. Many people have no idea that other similar systems exist; though users of smartphones are also familiar with Android OS. Our survey has revealed that most Windows users believe the Mozilla Firefox browser to be a Windows OS application, and are completely unaware of its cross-platform nature. And vice versa, the OpenOffice suite is steadily associated with the Linux Operating System, though it is cross-platform similarly to Firefox. So why were Mozilla Firefox and OpenOffice, of all, chosen for localization The main pro is that both software products are distributed under free, non-commercial licenses; moreover, it is possible to use (optionally) their source codes. Localization of the Mozilla Firefox Web Browser The first Mozilla Firefox localization (of version 1.0.3) financed through the grant of the Soros Foundation – Kyrgyzstan, appeared in February, 2005. But due to the lack of understanding of problems and their solutions throughout the working process, the localization product became highly outdated by the time of issue; and localization updating is one of the key elements in the comprehensive approach. The work was probably discontinued because of 174
