SV: FW: Resulting 4p & L2F in 10 languages

Tue May 20 13:29:17 PDT 2008

Hi - and thanks everyone
I've made the changes proposed to the German and French versions, and added the English one. Still have some folks looking at different versions of Latvian version. 

The Portuguese as well as other versions are on Lisas site. 
So I'll wait a little more and post the list that I collected again.

My sponsor called me today - and I let him know I've got all languages - he was mighty impressed...! You are such resources
Best regards
Thomas

I love this! Thomas, if you keep collecting all of this and adjust stuff 
as suggested and then issue the "perfect" set in 10 languages (maybe you 
should add English as a sort of "reference" to the original) you will 
enter the annals of Open Space or even the Open Space Paradise.
And will certainly be the only thing that could have/konnte/pouvait...
cheers

The word “devait” you have in English means What “should” happen instead of the actual What “could” happen.  What should happen has a whole different meaning than could and is incompatible with the principle itself and OST as a whole. We used it too at the outset until a participant pointed to the error. Subtleties are not always obvious.
