Founded in 1996, April [4] is the main French advocacy association devoted to promoting and protecting Free/Libre Software. Most of the documents published by April are in French; more and more campaigns, however, need to be run at an international level. For example, in the fight against software patents in Europe, we set up the English-language Web site Unitary-Patent.eu [5]. Furthermore, we wish to share our experience with readers from other countries.
To do this, we need to reinforce our translation team, especially for English translations. We are looking for volunteers:
- to translate from French to other languages,
- to proofread translations done by nonnative speakers.
Our translation team is currently composed of French people mainly; the best translations, however, are done by people translating from a foreign language into their mother tongue. We are therefore looking for native English speakers to help us.
Please contact us for further information [6].
