Actually they do.

In Translate's defense, they have done a significant amount of work within the OOo community including helping other translation efforts getting going. Having had a number of discussions with Dwayne over the past 2 years, including plenty trying to get him working more closely with the project, I understand their approach to doing OOo translation work. To them, OOo in and of itself is not that important, but rather a means to an end. Regards Craig A.
