Hi Julien,

I thank you for telling me the translation site Pootle.
I heard about it for the first time.  It seems to be 
very nice and energetic work.

Though I have translated CLFS book into Japanese,
I am not good at English, especially speaking and also
writing.  To tell the truth, I am just writing this
sentence using the Google translating site!

I am so sorry that I cannot join your conversation on
chat because of my lack of ability to speak English.

The translation works for CLFS is always my interest
and your post really is very interesting for me.  It is
needed for me the time for learning what the Pootle is,
and how the Pootle realize to translate, and so on.

I can not express my idea well, sorry.

regards,
matsu
