I suspect Sage is like most open-source programs - the documentation in English is more up to date, and more complete. A full translation of all documentation is a huge task. I note Mathematica only has English, Japanese and Chinese - no French, German, Italian or other common languages. As such, whilst having multi-lingual documentation is obviously advantageous, I think it is worth noting in such documentation that for those that can read English well, the English documentation is likely to be more up to date. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
