<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As much as it sounds far away, the Chinese problem
of translating the "right" people is the same that I faced when
I came to translate it to Arabic. And you will be surprised to know
that everywhere I used OS in Arabic, I used the word "appropriate" to
describe "the right people" because it sounds much more acceptable in
my language. So I guess it will be the right appropriate word to use also in
Chinese:)</FONT></DIV>

space. Jorie is publishing the Chinese version of “The User’s Guide,” and her
questions about the meaning of “right” (as in, “Whoever comes is the right
people.”) tickled my onion (made me smile). Idiomatic language is devilishly
hard to translate, and I suspect idiomatic (colloquial) English is the worst
offender. My first reaction was to say something like, “all of the above,” but
I knew that would create endless confusion and get me in a world of trouble.
So I opted for “right” = “appropriate.” Sounded good to me. What do you
think?</SPAN></FONT></P>
