Re: Update on Localisation Style Guides and Glossaries

[Aoife Dunne - Sunsoft ELC <Aoife Dunne ireland sun com>]

Hello All

Thanks to everyone for their response, however, since we have only got one 
volunteer (Rebecca J. Walter) to cleanup the English glossary, Sun has 
volunteer to work with Rebecca to do this work.  Before we proceed, I need 
to be sure that the developers and translators will use this glossary as 
reference once it is completed?.  In order to ensure quality, it is 
important that we are consistent in our terminology.

Can I get at least one volunteer from each language team to translate the 
English glossary into their languages once the English has been cleaned?.

We currently have the following volunteers:

Language		Name			E-mail
English			Rebecca J. Walter	rjp mail tele dk
Danish			Keld			keld dkuug dk 
Brazilian Portuguese	E. A. Tacão		tacao conectiva com br

Please advise
Aoife
