True. But the translator might not know a lot about the project in general, the plans, the story, etc. So I think of this as a collaboration between the translators and those who know the language, and others on the project who can help provide the kind of information that would be needed in a good article. Of course, some translators like you, have a wide perspective and have all that knowledge already. But this might not be true for all translators. -Rob > rgds > jan I. > >> >> louis >> >> > >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: l10n-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: l10n-h...@openoffice.apache.org >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: l10n-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: l10n-h...@openoffice.apache.org
