Me either, but the above looks right.  By the way, I just checked my
post to the Google Translate group and there hasn't been any activity
(yet?).

Also by the way, I played around with Google and it turns out that if
you separate the "Libre" from the "Office" and translate in the
opposite direction then the Google algorithm gets it right:

http://translate.google.com/#en|fr|Libre

In other words, a tiny tweak like this might be something else to
consider, perhaps a temporary solution until everybody is organized
with translations, sound files, notations,...

Cheers,
Jay
