Re: [tdf-discuss] I like the name LibreOffice


It would be nice to have something that works really well in
International English, and that sounded good to Asians as well.
Chinese friends inform me that they sometimes have troubole with
words/part words that end in R

My Indian friends for the most part would have no trouble saying the
name (though it may mean little to them having no immeadiate English
cognate) - most of their languages and dialects are very rich in
sounds that many other ethnicities can barely even distinguish.

I speak some French and Spanish and it rolls of my toungue beautifully
especially in Spanish.

I really believe that this will prove more important than some have
yet thought.

Corporations have been known to invest millions on this one thng alone
- I kid you not!

Serious research/thought would be really worthwhile - esp if there is
someone on the list with relevent background.

Why not languagae Group Names?

Romance Languages: LibreOffice

International English: FreeOffice

Mandarin: Office-免费
