An enthusiastic Latvian team has been hard at work since February, 2007 translating the 1.0x and 1.5 versions of Joomla, a popular Content Management System (CMS), into the Latvian language.

As a result its popularity has grown from a handful to several hundred Latvian Web site implementations many of which can be viewed in the catalogue on their JoomlaLV Web site.

It also poses a serious challenge to the home-grown CMS or SVS (Satura Vadības Sistema) software developed in Latvia, because Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone and has more flexibility than its Latvian counterparts.

Along with the announcement of the new iPhone 3GS model existing iPhone/iPod Touch users can finally upgrade to the latest software version: iPhone OS 3.0.

Unfortunately not much has changed in terms of Latvian language support and the date formats on the home screen and both Calendar and Weather apps still need to be fixed.

The good news is that the App Store is now available (since April) in all three Baltic countries.
