English has so many dialects and differences in understanding sentences. From Jamaica, USA, Canada, England, India and elsewhere, the phrases for universality are what I am after. Regarding the use of on. Le livre est sur le bureau. Je veux parler sur annaconda is the translation from "The book is on the desk. I want to talk to you on annaconda.". In French we cannot use sur annaconda. In Spanish can I write "Quiero hablar con usted en anaconda." or should I write " Quiero hablar con usted acerca de anaconda.". I think that the use of "on" for "about" is American practice only. I also had another situation in the sentence comparing maria.db and mysql and the reference "has a great following." or something like that. I took it to mean that mysql has a great following, but I believe the author meant it to be maria.db has a great following. (refer to the text I uploaded). I firmly believe that there are some important rules for documentation. a) The sentences should be at a high school level (standard public writing practices) b) The sentences should have no spelling mistakes. c) The links are verified at time of writing, and again by the proof reader. d) That someone who uses Google translate or other software gets a good translated sentence. Regarding languages, my wife is Spanish, I am English, but I work 95% in French. At home we speak all three languages. I cringe from the little English errors. All I am after is to allot time for a good proof read of a public document before it goes public. Proof reading is a very difficult task. You must know the subject well, and then know your language well. There are too many discussions about this one Release Note. You may do with it what you want. I did what I had to do. I most certainly do not have exclusivity on group decisions. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?regetlastlist=1434366 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
