I would suggest only using Google Translate if you are going to make use 
of these. The Google translation team have come a long way in making it 
work ... even if it still needs refinements. If you find that there are 
bad translations, you can always contribute a correct version of your 
own and help in making the system work better. The Google Translation is 
a handy tool to have.

Re: add-ons. I also use GTranslate on Firefox. You highlight the text 
you want translated, right-click and choose the translation that you 
would like. Works well.

ALL reviews should be collected for marketing purposes. Ignoring them 
would not be good strategy. Some of the negative press will have some 
valid points which we can use to better the distro. One of the points 
that was complained about was the lack of a "java notice" that I passed 
on to David, which he made a note of on the "System Requirement" pages 
which was further corrected by Alexander Thurgood for the Mac. Yes, it 
only took 5 minutes and it is now one less thing for people to complain 
about. Works great when we all work as a team.[1]
