Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Group names / translation

[Guillaume Courtois]

Hi Charles,

For these changes to take place, the developers have to give their opinion : I
send a copy of this email to the dev list.

For the translations, simply send me the complete files (phpgw_fr.lang) where
you have made changes, I'll check them and see if I find your translations
more accurate.

Bye.
