Dear people,
Excuses, I did not intend to start a discussion or to critisize anybody or any language. I realy ment it quite "matter-of-factly".
One of the greatest merits of open source is, -I feel-, the localisation that usualy comes from it, -and so does Inkscape.
I think it realy is a matter of time before an Inskape Bibble (or I Tjing ^^) appears somewhere in print and then gets translated into "Chinese, French and Dutch" (to quote Bowie).
But, this whole discussion is a bit of-topic. Let's g o drawing freely again. :)
Maarten

Well, from a population point of view, we'd rather start writing some printed documentation in Chinese, first. But French is -after English- indeed the most spoken "second language".
I am not going to enter the eternal discussion about in which language is more worthwhile writting/speaking on. It's a sterile debate.
I still think that the publishing of this book is an important fact in Inkscape's maduration, which is the point in case, and I thought you might want to know about it, hence my post to the list.
Denís.
I did not mean to disrespect the product or the importance of the occasion. I wait with anticipation either a translation of this book to English or else another written in English. At the moment I am effectively a monoglot.
