I had time i could use my limited german to make sense of it without
babelfish, or put it through bablefish in 150 word chunks
(NB this is probably a bug in the Abiword Translation plugin, it should
not send more text than will actually get translated).

Not really, i was just aware of previous efforts and responding to Daniels
post.
Sytle and diction were mentioned in the comments on Slashdot to an article
about Abiword. It is always wise to read both the articles and comments
that relate to any office software to get some valuable feedback that
users would not usually take the time to post on the lists or to bugzilla.
Follow up posts to authors of bad reviews are very useful (more so than
good reviews). One reviewer convinced me of the importance of better
integration and the ability to easily email a document when finished
writing it.
Later
