RES: [OSGeo-Discuss] Translated web site content

[Rafael Medeiros Sperb]

Hi all,

I believe we should match the contents of the main website. However, we
should have a local chapter page/link, where other information might be of
local interest.

I just had a look at the French and Deutsch translations of the home 
page and they don't seem to match exactly the contents of the English 
version. I can't read Deutsch, but the sections of the page seem 
different, and the French version (which I can read) definitely contains 
different contents.

Should it not be a requirement that the translations should match the 
original as closely as possible in order to relay a consistent message 
in all languages?
