Translation errors and weaknesses
"There's an IRC meeting for the community to cast their vote." --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:30, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "123 MOTUs, according to Launchpad" --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:30, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "That's not many people for 14,000 programs" --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:32, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "How do you organize work? Are you working alone, or in groups? And in which tongue?" --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:37, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "dedicated to certain topics" --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:42, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "within the extent of their privileges" --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:42, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "An operating system is vast... on what parts do the MOTUs focus?" And you can omit the programming language question, since the interviewee's answer fails to cover it. --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:46, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "I'd say that what we do is integration." Is this a Google Translation or what ? --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:52, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "The work of MOTUs is equivalent to that of the 'QA' team in Debian." --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:55, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "Our challenge is to include as much as possible the latest apps, without making Ubuntu unstable." --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:58, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "Are there still things to tweak before Sunday?" --Jerome Potts (talk) 08:13, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "There always are, even though the uploads are frozen as of this afternoon." --Jerome Potts (talk) 08:07, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "We won't find all the bugs until the version is widely used." --Jerome Potts (talk) 08:10, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "However, since it'll be in Orlando, that'll limit the attendance." --Jerome Potts (talk) 08:17, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "I look it up regularly, particularly for my kids' homework assignments." --Jerome Potts (talk) 08:20, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "And on wikis in general: it's a good collaborative work tool, I did set one up where I work, for some stuff." --Jerome Potts (talk) 08:24, 9 December 2010 (UTC) "No problem: it's been a pleasure!" --Jerome Potts (talk) 08:26, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The answer to the first question does not translate to "about 12–13 years ago", but rather to "since the age of 12 or 13". The French original isn't clear with its "depuis 12/13 ans", but that's the way some people express themselves when doing so quickly ; the context helps you distinguish between the two interpretations, à la "you know what i mean", and what immediately follows confirms it. I'd fix it myself but am limited to read-only auth on it. --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:17, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * "after convincing other MOTUs that we can not break everything, we can do it!" would read better as "after having convinced other MOTUs that you'll not break everything, you can be one!". --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:22, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * "It is a vote during a virtual meeting via IRC."
 * "123 MOTUs, depending on Launchpad"
 * "It is a few people for 14,000 programs"
 * "How do you manage to work? Do you work alone instead, or rather a group? Which language?"
 * "dedicated to certain subjects"
 * "within the limits of their rights"
 * "An operating system is very large... on what parts does MOTU focus? What language is used?"
 * "so that they compile, install and work correctly" : you could use "build" instead of "compile". --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:49, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * "I tend to say that we are inclusive."
 * "MOTU methods are similar to the 'QA' team in Debian."
 * "We have the challenge of having the latest applications possible without destabilizing Ubuntu."
 * "Are there still things to tweak for this Sunday?"
 * "Yes, still, even if since this afternoon, the uploads are fixed."
 * "As the version is not massively installed, we can't discover all the bugs."
 * "By cons, as it is in Orlando, it's limited."
 * "I use it regularly to read articles, including the duties of my kids."
 * "And wikis in general: it is a good tool for collaborative work, I set it up in the store in which I work for some subjects."
 * "Nothing: it was a pleasure!"
 * Your blow-by-blow critique would have been most useful at the time this was submitted. The article is now archived, and essential fixed. That is why you cannot edit it. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:46, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well that's too bad. --Jerome Potts (talk) 20:56, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
