Dear Gabriele, dear Andrea, dear translators

Gabriele Romaneto as a volunteer translator is proposing to write some  
guidelines for translating W3C documents, Andrea Garcia-Falces as  
Communication Staff of the W3C Spain Office is interested to contribute to  
writing guidelines for translating W3C documents in different languages.

We have two volunteers to work on this project to write some guidelines to  
translators. We currently have a few tips at  
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-translators/2006JulSep/0047 and if  
I understand correctly, this is not enough.

We recommend that our most experienced translators be involved in the  
work, at least for review and discussion on the list. We think a  
cooperation with people who have done a huge translation work for us, and  
who therefore know a lot about practice (JJ Solari, Erno Pataki, K Dubost,  
S Mintert, S Schumacher, C Hsu, etc...) would add significantly to the  
work.

The final product will be an informal web page linked off the Translation  
page.

Would you like to work on a wiki? How do you wish to conduct the work?

Best regards,
Coralie
