That's what we should decide now.
Do we want to wait until the German version of our site is perfect, and maybe delay the PR for one day, or don't we want that?
I would prefer waiting another day (if it is needed), as there is my name on the site, and also some bad typos when you understand what I mean ;)
I will make the changes to the German version of the site tomorrow if I can (I think I can). At what time do you want to send out the PR?
Greetings

Although I agree with you that waiting wouldn't be so bad, PDFreaders has become an official FSFE project and I promised team@ to launch it on Monday in any case. This has a lot to do with the fact that we already have announced that we would publish it on the Friday that just was, and every day we are late is somewhat of a problem in that regard.
According to the instructions I received, press releases must be sent out before 12.00 on a given day, so I aim for 11.00 to have room for technical issues and last minute changes.
all the best, /Stian

I agree, pdfreaders.org should be launched at Monday.
But if we really have some bad bugs in the German version than i would suggest to go online without the German translation and put the German translation later online. I think it's much better to have no German translation than having a bad translation online. Furthermore the delay for the German version would be only one day or even shorter if Henner can make the necessary changes tomorrow.
best wishes, Björn

So, what about the german press release... AFAICT it hasn't yet been sent over pdfreaders@... yet....
Just wanted to see it once before it is sent out for everyone to read ;)
Hi all,
I just sent the PR to this list as well.
As for the German translation on http://www.pdfreaders.julipan.org/index.de.html, I just read it again and I think it is fine to go out. We do not have to provide a perfect translation. We have time to make it perfect in the next weeks and month. But as said, I think it is a good translation and absolutely fine with our standards.
If we do not have the German translation a lot of people will not be able to read it when they follow the PR. So I think even if the pages would not be in such a good shape as they are now, a non perfect translation is better than none.
Best wishes, Matthias
