Re: [GENERAL] Mailing list in French

2003-08-20 Thread Francois Suter
Well, the idea of mailing list is to exchange information and help 
each other.
Obviously if few great things happen on some mailing list and others 
don't come
to know it, defeats the purpose of having a mailing list.
I agree. This is one of my worries. If nothing happens on the French 
list, it will be an empty shell. Then again, there seems to be a demand 
for something not in English. So here goes and let's just hope it will 
work out.

As an experiment can we have a translation gateway so that these two 
lists, in
general and french-general can interact? I mean the idea should be to 
help
people getting communicate better rather than having a separate list 
as such.
That would be nice, but how could we go about that?

Cheers

Yeah, it could only be workable if automatic translation (babelfish)
were good enough.  I have my doubts...

Yeah, but there's not too much you can do about it.  You can check what
goes on in the spanish list at
http://tlali.iztacala.unam.mx/mailman/listinfo/pgsql-ayuda

There's a respectable amount of traffic, and I don't think there's
anyone who would want to translate it.

Err... and who is doing the work, exactly?  (Maybe Google or Babelfish?
Care to set it up?)
