Hi Greg and all,
I downloaded Louis, which looks nice, but I had some comments.
First, the labels voice over reads for the tabs seem to get jumbled
and have duplicates if any but the first one, "Documents," is
selected. The Louis Help option does not bring up any help, though
I'm not sure whether it should. Lastly, I can't figure out how on
earth you're supposed to back translate. Can anyone enlighten me on
that?
