Maybe better would be: http://www.openoffice.org/zh-tw/ That would give them more context, including the translation of the AOO 3.4 announcement. > - Chinese (traditional) with http://www.openoffice.org/download Same here, maybe better would be: http://www.openoffice.org/zh-cn/ > - Dutch with http://www.openoffice.org/nl/downloaden.html > - French with http://www.openoffice.org/fr/Telecharger/ > - German with http://www.openoffice.org/download I wonder if better would be: http://www.openoffice.org/de/ So this is a question for others as well. We can either: 1) Point the user to the download page specifically, which is often in English, rather than NL or 2) Point the user to the NL page where available, provided it has a prominent download link. Advantage of #1 is it eliminates an extra mouse click. Advantage of #2 is it gives the user additional NL context, including the AOO 3.4 announcement and other material. So #2 is probably easier for someone with less English language skills. -Rob > I will do so, if nobody raises any objections. > > I am proposing to add the remaining languages on Thursday morning 09:30 > (GMT+2).
