As a single language user of the list, I appreciate the translations, poor
as they are, as they definitely work to give me an idea of the messages sent
in Spanish, which I cannot read.
One point I would like to reiterate from previous emails, is that the
translation is MUCH better if ONE standard language is used, without
abbreviations, slang etc. Also, if emails were NOT sent to both language
lists.
I, and others who are also mono-lingual with regard to Spanish and English
would be definitely be at a disadvantage if the list became a mixed language
(no translation) list.
