RE: Review period request for the WCAG 1.0 into Catalan.

Dear Coralie, Shadi and all:

Sorry for the delay in the answer. The Easter is "sacred" in Spain
(holidays), reason for which we have not been able to have a meeting until
today. 

The document with our observations is in the archives of the list, but it is
in Catalan. Therefore, we are going to write up a new document, in English
and Catalan,  gathering the pending terms or errors, facilitating its
understanding. 

Since this work team is a voluntary team, we requested your patience. We
will need some days to write up it. Thanks to take care of our
preoccupations. We worked with the only purpose of guaranteeing the best
quality of the translation and of diminishing the possible erroneous
interpretations. 

Best regards,
Emmanuelle, in behalf of the SIDAR revision team for the WCAG 1.0
translation into catalán:

Dear Emmanuelle, Fernando,

Thank you for your valuable contributions on the authorized translation of
WCAG 1.0 in Catalan. Coralie has already responded with regard to the
process for reopening a review period of this translation:
  <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-translators/2007JanMar/0140>

However, I am curious about the following statement in the original mail by
Fernando that initiated this thread:
  - "There were technical, semantics and linguistic issues raised by the
SIDAR team and admitted by the LTO and others that finally weren't added to
the translation."
  <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-auth-trans-ca/2007Mar/0000>

Could you please provide some pointers or preferably a summary of these
issues (if possible in English for us non-Spanish speakers)?

Regards,
   Shadi
