Re: [feedback] Localization_Effort

Hi,

For now I propose that Manfred and I start out translating the web
pages as per Jack's suggestion (see below), if Manfred is all right
with this, of course.

It's just a start, and once we're done with this, we can take it from
there.

Koen :
Welcome template
Product Into

Manfred :
Mailing Lists
Contributing Into


Manfred, greetings from a cold and rainy Canada :)
