Sandy Kirchlechner would be interested to help. She studied languages at the University of Verona, Italy. Her mother language is Italian, second language German and she knows English and Spanish very well. She would be willing to contribute with translations from German to English. Even if her preferred translation target language is Italian. She would like to get some informations about the time line and the work flow. When will the German original versions be provided to her and what's the time frame for translating them into English? She also would like to know, if there will be some sort of revision of her texts. She works at the Competence Center Open Source (CoCOS) and has therefore some knowledge about Free Software, but she is learning and isn't an expert yet. Being she not an English native speaker, she would also like to make a test translation of a BGW number to check with you if the level of her translations is good enough. She has no savannah account yet and before creating her account and starting to spend time on translations, she would like to check, if her contribution is needed. Please let us know, how we could proceed on this. Happy hacking! Patrick
