Could there be a special consideration in places where English speakers
are not that many? Many of the people that are planning to help out with
translations (Guajiro Communities) don't speak English. and the number
of English speakers in the LoCo team are not that very many. There will
be English speakers but they don't handle the target language
(wayünaiiki) therefore there is a gap. Spanish seems to be the bridge
for some translations.
Thank you all for your valuable contributions.
this really helps the guc translation team.
