Hi explorer, Thank you for your message(s). I have been as active as possibly indeed. Unfortunately, the Google in Your Language tool has been out of service for weeks now (I would say more than 2 months). It has become impossible to add new translations in Groups UI and Knol, as you can see when you're signed in. This morning, the whole transconsole seems to be out of order: http://www.google.com/transconsole/ (please see attachment)
On the other hand, the priority would be to add as many glossaries and translation memories (TM) as possible. Pardon my question but I don't know whether you are familiar with that terminology or not. Please see Josh's message, Google Employee, at the bottom of this message. I have already uploaded several glossaries and TMS, especially one general English-Bosnian glossary (EN-BS) with about 90 000 entries. Adding what is called parallel data (glossaries from and to any languages) and translation memories would be the top priority I guess. Thank you again for your message, any help would be highly appreciated. Please do contact me for any question / comment that might arise.
