Re: [tdf-discuss] Released LibreOffice For Dummies v2

Good Morning

I thought the translation of LibreOffice For Dummies, which will change 
its name to LibreOffice For Beginners using this professional, 
https://www.fiverr.com/ueritom that is highly requested by companies 
around the world to translate their materials from English into 
Portuguese and vice versa and has good skills in their jobs.

I talked to him and showed him the best material, he told me he would 
leave a $ 1500.00, and it has to update the prints and also has other 
technical aspects.

I did not think to translate to all languages but only into English, as 
this helps in the translation of communities in other countries, because 
English is a universal language.

I will apply for a grant for the TDF and put to vote, to see if the 
committee approves or not my request.

Good week.
