[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

Hi Paul,

Dont' worry, we're not offended at all.
We are aware that our English is too basic to be accepted by most native 
English people.

We requested some help on this topic from our Internet2 collegue during 
their Fall meeting but no volonteer yet. So if you manage to make 
Sympa's English more acceptable, we'd be more than happy :)

All you have to do is generate a us.po (or en.po if you prefer) and then 
edit the translations. As a start, this method has the advantage of 
keeping other translations uptodate. The other, more radical method, 
would be to change the strings in templates, thus making corresponding 
translations 'fuzzy'.
For more information on the translation process :

If anything goes wrong, let us know...
