Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice and The Document Foundation names in non-Latin languages

Hello everyone,

First, thank you for this fascinating discussion :-)
I am wondering if we tgen need to extend our trademark to non latin characters? Or is it granted 
because of the trademark we already have?

But to go back to the original point, we should use non latin characters if it means a better 
adoption of LibreOffice in some languages and regions.

Best,
C
