Ok, quick points for someone who is better at searching than I am...
I know I have seen before a list of translations of common application strings like "File," "Open," "Save," "Close," and "OK," into other languages. This was not just a scrape of Google translator, but an actual "official" list based on the localized OS. It seems to me that it was on Microsoft's site, but I'm not 100% sure.
I need to translate my application into Indonesian and wanted to give our translators a head start by filling in those common terms with the standard values, but now I cannot find the web page(s)! I've spent about 15 minutes and will continue to search (and will post the answer if I find it), but if someone else knows where that is (or finds it first!), please answer.

I want to make an emailing application but I wanted to know if there is maybe already an application that provides their source code so I could get a head start. Like maybe just the simple concept of placing emails in a table view and retrieving them from a server. If there is anything out there please let me know.
If you do a google search, you should be able to find what you are looking for. Here are some I found.

Why to restrict allowed usernames by different rules? For example why can't user have "#123 qw" username? Is there any techical difficulties or it's just about community rules?
Also is it ok to have national characters in the username? If I use "UTF-8" encoding for my website it should work just well in all browsers.
Username within a system is most of the time for the consumption of HUMANS therefore, from usability point of view it should be READABLE
And yes you can use your national characters in username and make sure you understand character encoding , storage and retrieval. You system/application should be ready to consume the selected encoding at every level e.g client-side, server-side and at database end and tools you use to manipulate with each tier e.g IDEs etc ..
So from my point of view you need some extra knowledge and efforts to handle such a system without killing Usability
I believe I can give you more than one reason but the first that comes off my head is this one.

I want to data mine dribbble.com so I can make an app that registers when the best time is to upload a shot to dribbble is. I've seen someone do it for stories on news.ycombinator.com/ (Hacker News): http://hnpickup.appspot.com/.
I don't really know where to start since I'm still fairly new to RoR. I hope you can give me some pointers.
I'd like to run the app on Heroku, if that matters.
Michael Hartl's tutorial is a good place to start for this task. The internal logic would need to change to be yours but I think that is down the road a bit. As for charting there is FusionCharts and HighCharts to name a couple of options I am familiar with.
I ended up using Heroku scheduler to scrape dribbble, using their own API.

I'm not really sure if the questions that ask for opinion are allowed here, but I'll give it a try, as it seems pretty logical to ask for advise when my own search didn't produce any desirable result.
I'm building a new application and it seems like doing a website mockup is a pretty good idea. I couldn't find any free software that does a decent job in that regard, so I would appreciate any pointers. Pencil project as a firefox plugin seemed like a good one, but it hangs on exporting created documents.
Any other ideas for a software that is used for application planning and mockups would be greatly appreciated.
You can use the web demo of Balsamiq Mockups for free...

I'm getting started building a site with Rails and I would like people to be able to vote certain things with the options of "yes" or "no" or "right" or "wrong". I would also like there to be a running tally computed by percent (maybe below). Could someone tell me how I can add this functionality?
Thanks
I just finished up something similar.
If you'd like to see how other people have tackled this problem, just search github. There are 30 ruby repos.
I found acts_as_voteable the most helpful.
Remember to build it in such a way that enforces: "one vote for one IP address". Other than that, it is straight forward and plain Mathematics.
You should also take a look at 'counters' in the API, such that each vote has a value and the tallies are kept on the voted-on object (so it doesn't have to run a count every single time).
