[Foundation-l] Vice President?

[Thierry Coudray]

I have the same problem when I've translated Erik mail about the new
Android app for WMFr members list.  Because in France, a Vice President is
member of board in most of foundations or charities, and almost always it's
a volunteer position.

So to avoid confusion, I have translated as "Directeur exécutif adjoint, en
charge de l'ingénierie et du développement des nouveaux produits",  means
"Deputy Executive Director in charge of engineering and new products
development"
