Re: Update on webpreview tool

Hi Bonnie and Sofía,

I have done a test and I see it very helpful.  The translation is not 
perfect but a good starting point. I copy pasted a text from fsfe's site 
and I didn't see the preview button. It is at the bottom and no so 
visible. But it is ok.

I usually don't use the Webpreview tool at the beggining of 
translations. I normally use Pluma in Trisquel. This is a simple editor 
and I can avioid deleting html tags and links for example.
I may get used to this new Webpreview tool or export it and translate in 
Pluma.

Thank you Sofiía and all for this great job! I think it is a very good 
aid for tranlations!

Libre greetings,

Pablo G
