The following translations are extremely outdated and will be removed in a future 2.1 release if they are not updated:

Catalan (ca_ES)
Hungarian (hu_HU)
Portuguese (pt_PT)
Russian (ru_RU)

The following translations are somewhat outdated and just need to have some messages updated:

Greek (el_GR)
Spanish (es_ES)

If you want to translate Anope to a language which it is not currently translated to then your contribution would also be welcome.

If you’re interesting in helping out please see issue #337 and read docs/LANGUAGE for information on how to translate Anope.
