Sorry Julien, I don't mean it this way
and for sure Dominik neither.
I guess our point is not to confuse people with another language than the
'official' project language, which is 'some form of' English :)
If you add a 'french' button to your blog entries we aggregate on JogAmp,
that is great - and I am sure your audience highly appreciates your efforts.
The point is not to confuse readers on the aggregation page
w/ another language, thats all.
I for myself am just too lazy to translate everything in German, my mother tongue,
especially since I believe that our audience is capable of reading my little English.
But thats my personal choice.
So again: Ofc you/we can make a 'french' FR link button on your blog link.
I am sure thats all great.
But pls do not insist that we fill in the french language into our blog aggregation page,
you know .. this one:
http://jogamp.org/blog/But I will add your blog link on the 'Feeds' site to the right with an EN/FR 'button',
if thats ok w/ you. Again: Maybe just add to each of your english posts a link to the french version,
I guess then we are all cool.
