Da, ya doljoi intristyil (I think I got that transliteration close to right ;) I am certainly interested in other languages. I took a Russian translation course about 20 years ago and still dabble in reading it (with the help of a dictionary). My verbal and written skills are very poor however, lack of practice. Russian, Spanish, German, & French I have some small(!) experience with. One of the attractions of Plan 9 for me was the ability to have Angliski and Russki at the same time. I do this in Windows using a 3rd party utility. Can't get Linux to really do it right (at least from my view). I have a friend who is a professional translater so I do have somebody to go to local for some problems and such. > What documents named ``short''? A license agreement or something similar. A couple/few of pages. I could proof something like that in a week or two. At my skill level and time constraints I wouldn't be able to do anything more than a couple of pages a week, max. Are you familiar with Open Forge and Hangar 18? http://open-forge.org I could/would certainly be interested in starting a mailing list to handle translations of Open Source material (not just Plan 9). This sounds like a good way to prime the pump to me. > Pozaluysta friend Da Svidanya. -- ____________________________________________________________________ The law is applied philosophy and a philosphical system is only as valid as its first principles.
