    Meizu Manual to English

    What's up guys. I have been working on the manual for a while now however, I wonder if the programs and sites I am using to get this done is actually giving the same translations. I have only done a few pages. Sometime things come out as run on sentences or just not making any sense to me. I have converted the pdf into a word doc so I can modify it.

    I was wondering if I could give it to a Chinese member of the forum who can convert it to English. Again, it's a word doc with all the pictures and stuff so we can save original formatting so I can turn it back into a pdf doc.

    So what do you think?

    Good idea Timsomor,
    but keep in mind that once the new ui is finished you will need to start over again due the cahnges in looks/features..

    That is why nobody toke their time yet to do it, cause it is a bit waste of time now?

    Keep in mind that for example google translate is never accurate, same as bablefish,..
    for example translate the dutch :
    hallo, alles goed ?
    to french
    Bonjour, all right?
    so that is why you wont understand it sometimes

    I actually think "Bonjour, all right ?" is not so bad a translation. The problem is that "alles goed" is heavily abbreviated and more street talk than a correct term.
    Sometimes even the "official" translations don't translate the original "wit".
    But that's all off-topic, sorry ...
