[Imc-wales] Fwd: Translating the publish form into Welsh - help needed

[Genny]

Oh, sorry, it should have come through as an attachment - I'll send it 
to you off-list.  I think the idea is to edit it as a plain text file.

I appreciate the issue about technical language. Maybe if you post any 
words you've got queries about to the imc-wales list, then other 
Welsh-speaking people can give their views or we can ask around for 
other opinions.  I'm sure there are people not on this list who'd be 
prepared to help out if we asked.

Cheers

Genny
