Hi, We can certainly put up a loose-translation (of the Canada wiki) and just put a header stating that the text is a 'loose translation: please fix if you can'.
You are also free to reply to any message in french :) - IMO It just means that there will be a slight delay as we switch on google translate. (im currently on my mobile, but when i reply from my laptop, it should automatically translate.) My guess is that it will be 75% accurate, which is still OK for me :-) Sam On 2/11/10, john whelan <jwhelan0...@gmail.com> wrote: > At the moment OSM Canada has fewer resources available than is > desirable.
