[libreoffice-users] Translating questions and answers

Hi :)  

Ideally i like to forwards the question to the international translators list fairly quickly.  


For the parts that appear on this list i try to use Quick translate (or other machine translator 
tool) but keep it close to the original in whatever language that was in.  Not everyone has access 
to the tools and even if they do they often don't realise.  


At my own work-place they keep wanting translations and yet they just wont engage with FOSS tools 
or don't quite realise the capacity FOSS would give them.  A few do use Firefox but don't have any 
translations add-ons [sighs deeply].  

Regards from 
Tom :)

Which is why it's always best to leave messages in the writer's own 
language and let the recipient manage the translation - as indeed the 
original questioner did.
