Hi everyone, Here is also a contribution on this from Fridolin
-------- Message original -------- Marc& all, Well done with the base text. Here my suggestions for changes: Comments: = taken out one 'your' in the first sentence = 'day by day' changed to 'every day' = there is no need to justify not replying ======================== Thank you very much for your e-mail and interest in LibreOffice. Due to the increasing popularity of the free office suite, we receive lots of support requests every day. Unfortunately, we can't reply personally to every e-mail, as our engagement in the project is completely on a volunteer basis and in our spare time, thus leaving no time to respond to individual requests. However, the Community does offer a large variety of mailing lists to support its users. We have compiled an overview at http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ Please have a look at these pages, and send your inquiry to our mailing lists. Chances are high that your problem then will be solved very soon. ======================== Greetings Fridolin On 19/11/12 04:34, Marc Paré wrote:

I hope that we can improve the EN language used in the message before it is sent for translation into our Pootle system. I would like to examine both syntax, punctuation etc. for the EN language as well as the proper choice and flow of words. Deadline max. to complete: about a couple of days, less if possible.
