Mozilla Firefox for example doesn't handle Bidi correctly, so you easily get everything messed up. The new Mandriva website ( Which I am working on ) uses eZ as a CMS, when it comes to Arabic, I very frequently copy and past the English content to gEdit to work easily, but I use the online editor when I have to translate a complex rich text document ( especially tables, and when there are lot of tags ) because the editor is WYSIWYG, even though the text is aligned to the left. - Underorganization of the work: Acts of vandalism and unmoderated work.
As far as I am concerned, I think it will be good to use Rosetta for small applications, and PO/CVS for well-established projects ( Gnome, KDE, OpenOffice, Mozilla, man pages ...). _______________________________________________ Doc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/doc
