Hi Robert,

if the translation software wanted to replicate the text structure for
the translated text it must use the API we currently have and so can
start right away. In fact I have already seen two different extensions
for translating text in OOo.

If the translation software wanted to translate "just the text" without
preserving the test structure it could use our new APIs for simplified
text access we will add together with the proof reading API.

Ciao,
Mathias

I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails sent to it.
