The weakness of the folder method is to ensure all changes are translated. <orcmid> My impression of the value of the technique AOO uses is that it allows for voluntary translation by those proficient in the two languages when they choose to step in and it leaves the default English pages otherwise. It also allows translation to proceed selectively as translators find it valuable. I can't speculate about whatever it is Infra is doing. I don't understand how the current AOO system and pootle work. So I have no judgment about alternatives. However, I am all for using what is in hand and using the least that can possibly work, especially when it comes to providing easy on-ramps and minimal learning curve for future volunteers. </orcmid> rgds jan i > </orcmid> > > rgds > jan I. > > Ps.
