Re: [Gimp-developer] testing a press release

I also think it's: translated into.
Even though 'translated to' might be used often, my English teacher, if
I remember correctly, taught us that it's always 'translated into'.
Anyhow, good luck. :-)

I think I found one small language error. In the last paragraph you 
write "He has translated part of the program to Dutch and tries to 
get bugs fixed now and again." which I think should be "He has 
translated part of the program into Dutch and ..."

Google seems to agree (1 million hits on "translated into", only 
235000 on "translated to") but since both have quite a large number 
of hits I suspect it's not that sharp a contrast. Maybe it's just 
another British vs. American thing.

Anyway, looks good otherwise!
