I made a human experiment, and showed the presentation to a person who closely matches the target audience, a student of translation and interpreting. Here's a short summary on what she thought about the content of the slides: - The concept of internalisation was not familiar, was thought to be a part of localisation. - Meaning of Gnome, KDE was not well known. - Some terms were strange, such as "input method", "glyph". - The sentence "Unicode provides a unique number for every character" didn't seem to make any sense, because a character being a number is not a commonly known fact. - "Dynamic substitution" could be mixed up with the term "dynamic equivalence", which is used in translation theory. - Tricky plurals page; other details of Finnish may be trickier than plurals, for example inflecting words. - Lauri
