Elaborate - May 26, 2008

I was darn good and wildly funny, that's all.

My French is rusty but I still understand most of it so I had the pleasure to enjoy and evaluate a great translation and localization job.

I didn't mean to start a discussion, however, besides all the doom-and-gloom and all the complaining that we usually encounter in our forums, I thought it would be nice to compliment a good translator on his / her work for a change.
