Very Computer

Hi all,

I recently started to translate the NetBSD website into German, and by now
I was able to find a few other people who are interested in helping out.
Should you be interested, please join our mailinglist at

and/or email me.

-Jan

Do you think that's really worth the work? Keeping the translation up-to-date
would take a lot of time. Information in native language might be good for
beginners, but sooner or later you will have to read and write English, because
you cannot translate everything. IMHO using English in the internet leads to
greater communities, more discussions, more experience exchange. Further you
will have to decide which words should be translated, because searching for a
translated expression won't be very efficient. I think it's a good idea to
translate the latest news, but technical papers should not be used in any other
language than English. I assume people using BSD/UNIX do not have problems using
English language and it is a great help reading English articles, because there
is so much more information available.
