[libreoffice-design] Re: Little problem with the Vegur font

Hi Ricardo:

Some points I would like to express:

There is no need to translate as is from the English text. The idea 
would be to make it readable as native Spanish text. If you think it 
should be modified then modify it as native Spanish text and then we can 
all try to make it fit on the cover. You could pull some of the text 
from the http://es.libreoffice.org/caracteristicas pages. Were you 
involved in writing up the text?

I see that there is/was a short discussion about the slogan on the 
Spanish mail list. There again, if the Spanish community would like to 
come up with a native Spanish slogan, then make one up, discuss and 
adopt it. It can certainly be used instead of the English slogan. There 
is no need to force an English slogan onto the community if it is not 
appropriate.

The same grammar rules apply in French as well.

Cheers

Marc
