Thanks khafa. The translator was also my first idea but unfortunately most of the times, although it is correct, it makes no sense in the context. Imagine "to begin" instead of "Start". I have to get this information directly from native or experienced speakers. Time taking but it is for the best UI.

Hello. Thanks to the help of people all over the world we managed to get the translation for the "Start" button in 79 languages.
The final result is in:

To all of you thank you very much.
The first releases are going to be available very soon. For everyone interested in receiving updates and the distributions in native languages please just send an email with "Distribution - Your_ Language(s)" as subject to linux.magma@gmail.com
Also anyone that might be available for helping with future translations just send a message with the subject "Translation - Your_Language(s)"
Any correction and suggestions are more then welcome.
One more time thanks a lot to everyone.
Eduardo Cruz, Magma Linux team
