Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Translation of LibreOffice Guides on Github

Hi :)
Machine Translators are not perfect anyway.

GT might provide a good starting point but then human beings with skills
and knowledge need to take over and at least proof-read and modify.

I think OmegaT can be used quite happily without using GT or any other MT
and the main purpose of Milo's post was to show that OmegaT is an excellent
tool for this type of work.  The use of GT was just to get to a finished
result faster.

Please can we try to avoid the often repeated discussions about MTs and GT
in particular issue and instead just focus on the main point about using
OmegaT to translate the "Published Guides"?
Regards from
Tom :)
