I am sorry if my directness was misinterpreted as rudeness, but yes, the problem is related to the guide lines which have been put down from Skolelinux, trough OpenOffice.org, and pretty much every other FLOSS project which needed translation into Norwegian. Well, what I actually fear is something like the situation they have struggled with in Ubuntu, where translations have been pretty bad at times, and the fact that people didn't seem to be bothered by the low quality of their work. Yes, I'm still aware of the transitional phase, but remember that a lot of people have strong feelings about their work, and I'm one of them. > > > > > Regards, > > Olav Dahlum > > > > -- > > Olav Dahlum > > > > PGP key ID: 0xA6BD1795 > > Thanks > louis -- Olav Dahlum PGP key ID: 0xA6BD1795
