<excerpt>Thanks for telling me what Bore actually meant, otherwise it
would have 

taken awhile to figure out. The Babelfish translations aren't too bad 

and I'll go through and check them. I've just finished the Data entry 

page so here it is. If you find any errors on it, please email me. What 

pages have already been translated/nearly done that I should not be 

working on?

It's wet blanket time.  


Just from looking at the document provided, I think we may have a
disagreement on how to approach this.  Although the translation may
technically accurate, it reads really odd to me.  Basically, it sounds
like reading an article via babelfish.  The sentences are not constructed
as they would be in English. 


I would suggest doing not just a translation, but a rewrite of the topic.
 That way, the help will look native in each language.  


Was I the only one that noticed this?
