A choice has been made for a tool that has no obvious qualifications to support the over 270 languages supported by Wikipedia.
The good news is that at translatewiki.net we are quite happy to support competing applications. As we reuse existing localisations for new applications, openZIM may even benefit from the work that has been done on off line readers.
So Wikimedia Foundation, it is not obvious why you support openZIM. OpenZIM is not supported here but that can be remedied when you care for supporting all the languages of Wikipedia.
Thanks,

openZIM is a data format, like ODF. Could you elaborate what you would like to translate there?
OpenZIM is supported in an application maybe multiple applications. When there is no internationalisation or localisation for these applications, there is no reason to believe that openZIM will work for other languages and scripts.

Would you be able to describe what should be done, so that somebody else can then do it?
I think what Gerard is referring to is to get Kiwix into translatewiki and getting it translated into multiple languages.
The openZim format is language agnostic so it wil intrinsically support any format as is evident if you take a look at the available downloads at
http://kiwix.org/index.php/Main_Page
If that's the case then the action plan is pretty simple. Get Kiwix into translate wiki.
Yes, please get Kiwix and related tools localised at translatewiki.net..
Instructions can be found here.
Thanks,
GerardM
Localization is now a new discussion topic for Kiwix. We will both evaluate needs and solutions.
GerardM, please come directly to me if you have additional questions, remarks, wishes.
