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."
