Hi,
Thanks for publishing.
There are a bunch of little errors there, and it would be really nice to fix them:
- "but also to interest other departments in the University" -> "but also
to interest other departments in the University *in this*"
- "I asked the Xhosa-speaking audience members what do they thought about
the text" -> "I asked the Xhosa-speaking audience members *what did they think* about the text" or "I asked the Xhosa-speaking audience members *what do they think* about the text"
- "This is a taste of the things to come, which Content Translation makes
easier than ever. More content can be created in more languages with less effort." - something feels disconnected here. I'd rewrite it like this: "This is a taste of the things to come. With Content Translation, more content can be created in more languages with less effort."
