Glossary Files from previous releases |
(contributed by Daniel McGowan)
Here is a list of glossary files from previous releases (including Communicator 4.x) for reference. Translation consistency and quality can be greatly improved if there are glossary files for reference.
These files are all tab delineated text files. They can be imported into and sorted/ordered in Excel or StarCalc (part of StarOffice - available in en, de, fr, it, es, nl, bp and sv).
