[tdf-discuss] [MAILING LIST] Language specific list for non-English communication
Hi there, I believe we eventually need to have per language specific mailing lists for those who are not comfortable communicating in English. This would help especially for the native Japanese speakers who are not well versed in the English language, and I'm sure it would for other language natives.

Something I've always thought would be cool - a plug-in to a a mail list manager that utilized googles translation service, so that users of different languages could all communicate using a single list... Anyone ever heard of such a beast? -- Best regards, Charles -- To unsubscribe, send an empty e-mail to discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.

That *may* work between Latin-based languages, but those on-line translation services are pretty horrible at translating between CJK and Latin, especially when going from CJK to Latin. It's so bad that you could probably communicate better with body languages alone, than using one of those services. ;-) Kohei -- Kohei Yoshida, LibreOffice hacker, Calc kyosh...@novell.com -- To unsubscribe, send an empty e-mail to discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.

Hmm... Actually the Google one does a better job than Yahoo Babel Fish as it turns out (just tested it now). Still, I think we are 10 years too early to expect solid machine translation that we can rely on to have a single-language communication medium.
