Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Nice press cover in Scandinavia

Yes, excellent links.  Thanks :)

In Firefox you can install various different machine translator add-ons.  I 
think i used "IM translate" which gave me an entire tool-bar but allowed me to 
translate (badly) from hundreds of different languages into hundreds of others.  
They even had a few "joke" languages of which my favourite was "skinhead" lol.  
Machine translators are always really bad but they can be a good starting point 
for a person that does understand the language to proof-read and make some sense 
of.  A neat way of getting translations done when 2 people don't have any 
language in common but are prepared to work at understanding each other but be 
prepared for a lot of misunderstandings!

I think it would be good to also collect links of any negative press.  We (well, 
David) took about 5minutes to solve something that one bad reviewer ranted on 
about for about half a review.

Regards from
Tom :)

Thanks for these links Leif. Great articles!

For those of you who cannot read in these langauges, you can use Google 
Translate to translate the pages. Although the translations are at times 
a little confusing, you can get the general meaning of the articles and 
comments. You may be also surprised that sometimes the translation is 
not that bad.

Method:

* go to Google Translate here: http://translate.google.com/#
* choose the source language of the article and the English output
* put the website url into the box
* Google Translate will give you a link to the translated page/site

Cheers

Marc
