Hi friends of Sutta Central. I’m translating Tipitaka to “Català” Language (From Catalunya – Country of Spain)
This is my blog: http://budismexxi.blogspot.com.es/
Here my Dropbox Folder with the Translated Texts: (I’m translating regularly)

Thanks for your kindness!
Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.

Dear Albert,
Thanks so much for the kind offer. And from one translator to another, sadhu! for your good work, and for making the Dhamma freely available.
As I guess you know, we already have a number of Catalan translations, and would be delighted to add more. There are, however, a couple of issues.
Firstly, your translations are published as PDF. Now, PDF is meant as an end-point, and it is very hard to extract texts from PDF. So if it was possible to get the texts in any other format, that would be great.
However, there is another issue on our side. We have a small development team that is hard at work to build the next generation of our platform. I have asked them to not add any more texts at the moment, as I want them to focus on core development. We anticipate that this development will be ready towards the end of the year. So until then I am afraid that we will not be adding any major new texts (certain jobs have already been assigned to volunteers, and these will continue).
So, I would suggest that we should look to adding these texts towards the end of the year. I will add this to our issues to look at—in fact I already have! But maybe you could help us by contacting us again at the end of the year as a reminder.
