Bruce, Welcome. Translating FAQs is a perfect job for someone with only limited blocks of time available. Slow work completion is much less critical than when trying to put together a user guide. So I encourage you to just dive in and do what you can, when you can. If you let us know what you're working on, others won't accidentally duplicate your work. One easy way to do that is to create a link from the Calc FAQ page to a not-yet-translated question; that way it shows up in red and people know it's being done.
BTW, many team members are in the UK and Europe; I am in Australia. Also BTW, quite a few of us are retired. --Jean On Tue, Nov 5, 2013 at 5:01 AM, Bruce Martin <brucemarti...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Hazel: > > I just saw this message. > > I am in the Montreal, QC, Canada area and am English (native) French very > fluent and have done public speaking in French) and somewhat less strong in > Spanish. > > Being retired and alone, I can help with some of the translation, and/or > when it seems appropriate, integrate some of the French questions where they > have a significant common underlying denominator.
