Sympa 5.0b has been tested on our own server and we hope many sites will have a try with it to have a stable 5.0 release 
available as soon as possible.

You'll note that only 4 languages are proposed on the web interface (English, french, Italian, Hungarian). This is
due to the new internationalization system used. If you wish to update your native language PO file, refer to the 
translation howto : http://www.sympa.org/howtotranslate.html
