Caleb, I agree and disagree at the same time. I am at this now for several years - a fair number of translations across the board in CrossWire in various languages are mine, inspired by me or mentored by me. There is an enormous power in a bad translation - it draws out guys who would never dream of doing something. Several translations we have and many many imporvements would never have come about if we had not presented a rough and ready "mock-up" With this in mind I am committing right now a google translated entire translation for Xiphos in Arabic. I am fed up to the core that we do not have an Arabic translation, I have tried to recruit translators for the language for 5 years and now I will make some people shame faced and steaming with anger when they see the poor translation. And - hopefully - next release we will have a nice one....
