Re: [Fwd: auto-translation]

I agree with Yishay that it would be interesting to try and see if the
translations are any help. But we don't need to change the Plone for
that. We could take 10 or 20 reports, run them through Google/Babelfish
and save the results. Then we can let the kids look at automatic
translations and see what happens.

Best,
