That may be true ;^) but think that don't be a general case. Datasheet isn't a good example, it don't are literature, are technical papers with "typical" estructure. > I use three languages almost everyday (I'm french, I live in Spain and > I work for an international research institute).

Currently, I'm learning french too (I'm bad with english but french are more easy for me), so I use three languages too. ^_^ >> (...) > Having a single list means that the information/tips/hints are centralized > instead of spread and having the same question being repeated/translated > to every language.

The question here is: how larger will be "local" mail list? If we can answer this question, we should focus more this question. Is a reality that a few users mail list aren't a good help (generally). > Now the above is only valid for the mailing list, I think that translating > the documentation and wiki pages is a very good idea.

I know, at least, two spanish translate for Stuart Geda's howto; and I have my own translate (that don't are in the net still). We need, at least, a good documentation in other languages, I think. >> Desde El Ejido, en Almería, usuario registrado Linux #294013 > > Desde Granada, casí un vecino :-) You are the nearest (to me, and in geoghraphical terms, only 150 km) geda user that I know. ^_^ Vaya, eres el usuario de Geda más cercano que conozco; he cambiado correos con otros usuarios pero o son del otro lado del Atlántico o de Madrid.
