You may want to look at this.

This will ensure a more accurate translation of English pages throughout the website. Some more items to look at: -- 2 ... If you just want US English ... To avoid confusion over the US English, I would suggest using the same format as it reads in the drop down list to get our users used to reading our language listing format. I would suggest: US English change to English (US) -- in the Notes section, 2) A link is also provided below to download the source code, so that you can compile your own installer for special purposes. The comma should be removed. -- in the Notes section, 3) Additionally, a link is provided to download the software development kit [SDK] so that you can develop your own extensions and special tools (if you're a developer, we invite you to get involved in development of the LibreOffice core code). I would suggest removing the word Additionally, it is really not needed as this is a list; it will also be in the same sentence format as the previous sentence. I would also suggest a period after tools. and if you still need to use the parentheses for the following sentence, capitalise the If and punctuate the sentence. The sentence would then read: 3) A link is provided to download the software development kit [SDK] so that you can develop your own extensions and special tools.

This I have found with working with people in an instructional environment. Please forgive me if I don't have much time to respond to the other points, but I have a very long day of work ahead, and I need to get on with it ;-) David Nelson Hope you eventually get some rest from all this work.
