[libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice 3.6.4 Romanian installer translation is HORRIBLY broken

[Andras Timar]

Hi,

I read the whole thread. I don't think we should do anything about it.
Localization of LibreOffice is a community effort. If the given native
language community is unhappy about the quality, they can come and
help to improve it. I used to work in the localization industry for
many years. I read many reviews like this. Some reviewers take minor
mistakes as fatal, or preferential things as major mistakes. So I'm
not sure that Romanian translation is as terrible as "zugu" described.
But I don't speak Romanian at all, I cannot decide. I'm happy that the
Romanian team became more active recently, they started to use Pootle.
They rather need encouragement.


Best regards,
Andras
