As FOSS4G.be aims at being a local event we decided since last
year that having NL-FR & FR-NL was the priority to reach the
widest possible Belgian audience (people from administration and
students). Last FOSS4G.be we noticed in particular that a lot of
people took French helmets during the event.<br>
<br>
About the English translation we think it can be helpful for
people coming from abroad especially with the SotM
(<a href="http://2016.stateofthemap.org" target="_blank">http://2016.stateofthemap.org</a>) being the next day...<br>
<br>
In principle, we do not have a lot of cost thanks to<font size="2"><a href="http://www.ibgebim.be/"> Bruxelles Environnement - Leefmilieu Brussel</a></font> and the
price the translators propose seems the most competitive to me
(the other proposition that I had was way more expensive).<br>
<br>
Otherwise, regarding the ENG->NL->FR translation, they say
they can manage that. I'm still a bit skeptical but they claim it
should not hurt the understanding. <br><span class="im">

Can you already confirm me that we agree to hire two people for NL-FR and FR-NL translations?<br><br>2. We were considering to provide translation to English as well.<br>In this case, what they proposed to me is the following: two additional translators NL-EN and EN-NL. That would limit the number of translators to 4 but would mean a two step translation<br>from FR to EN (FR->NL->EN). What is your opinion about this?<br>In that case, they ask for 500€/translator (instead of 420€, because of the extra work due to intermediate translations), leading to 2000€ in total.<br>The other possibility is to have all the combinations. That would mean 6 people and around 6*420 = 2520 €.<br><br>We have a bit of time to discuss item 2. But I would really need the confirmation of item 1.
