Hi Smokey.
There is something I don't understand: should I translate just the Announcement box or the entire page?

Just the announcement box. Sorry that wasn't clear (too many leftovers from 1.1)

When I translated, I noticed that in the "A Feature-Complete, World-Class Office Solution" section the export to LaTeX (and BibTeX) does not appear. IMO it's regrettable, because it's a very important new feature.
Is it possible to add it?

Jacqueline, JCA isn't Java Connector Architecture, but the Sun Joint Copyright Assignment. I corrected this on the announcement page on the Wiki.
Patrick, is this important enough to merge the version on download.neooffice.org with that on the Wiki ? |

Hi all,
I have translated the press release to Norwegian, but I can't figure out where to put it on the Wiki...

We are still editing these pages? These are press releases and they have already have many hits and it is very bad form for an ornanization to change press releases after you have released it.
The time to proofread these things is well before release. No offense, but creation of this press release was procrastinated until the very last minute and I'm not going to do a whole bunch of unplanned work because the community didn't make good use of the last month when this topic was started.
I was given these releases at the last second (they should have been mostly done last week at the latest) and my next few days are already jammed with work.
Edit: And why are translators modifying Micheal Meeks' quotes? His quote was "JCA". If you don't understand someone's quote, you shouldn't make crap up and then attribute it to them.

Knut, you have a wiki login, right?
If so, just make a new page titled no:NeoOffice 2.1 Annoucement (or whatever that English bit would be in Norwegian), e.g. http://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/no:NeoOffice_2.1_Announcement

I added "[Joint Copyright Assignment]" in square brackets (which is the proper way, in English, to indicate an addition/acronym expansion by an editor) to the English version on the wiki to try and prevent any more confusion in translation.
In retrospect, I should have realized that was confusing jargon yesterday; sorry.
I'm sorry all of this was last minute, too; it's my fault. I haven't had very much time lately, and especially this month, and was very lucky not to be working all weekend
We need to get started on this a month in advance again next time (we did for 1.1 and things were a lot better).
Smokey

| I added the square brackets to the Fr and It pages, as well as NDT (note du traducteur) to the French announcement. I'm not sure if a note in square brackets is the right way to indicate this in French (or Italian), but at least it's become clearer that it doesn't come from Mr. Meeks. Of course, we can't do anything to the version on the download.neooffice.org website |

What I did do is delete the "(Java Connector Architecture)" passage from my French page so that it was simply "JCA" like the other pages as the misattribution 1) shifts the whole point of his quote from "we're working toghether" to "Sun's Joint Copyright Assignment" and 2) made either him or us look like we don't know what we are talking about and since he, Ed, and I or engineers we can't really plead ignorance.
I'm leaving the download.neooffice.org pages as what they were originally frozen at: JCA and no clarification. So let's quit fussing with these pages as now I am reluctant to pull in any further translations as I have no idea whether they are translating what download.neooffice.org and trinity.neooffice.org's front have issued as a press release or not.

I was going to suggest that (removing the original mistake in the French version), but I thought you were too busy with other release tasks. Thanks for doing it  |

What commotion... Anyway, the Dutch version is done. Sorry about the delay. Even a relatively small document takes several hours to translate and a bit more to proofread. And I didn't even go and translate the quotes (I just left them in English)..
Should I plug the text anywhere?
best wishes,
Oscar
