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."
