Re: translations to turkish language ready

Thomas,

I think you should explain what you mean by "ranting". The character of
our work here is obvious. I should and will do my best to protect my
language from degradation.

I just sampled a few mistakes from the translations, my intention was
not a full review.

I see that some of these mistakes were corrected later, but I need to
know how "Norweçce" is a perfect translation of "Norwegian" because the
letter "w" does not exist in Turkish. It does in Kurdish but your
translation is not in Kurdish.

That is why I asked earlier that "Istanbul Turkish" be used in the
translations. My requests were not only ignored, but a "ranting" claim
was made on top.

Using the term "webmaster" in the Turkish translation is another example
of half-translation.

Dear Coralie,

I end discussing this topic here. I request that pseudo-translations
made by non-native speakers not referenced on your pages, and hope you
will not stand by when baseless accusations are made here.
