Not so feasible, I think.

Work based on another translation would very likely mean missing important nuances. Ironically, this was the case with English (!) in times of OO 2.0, when it was somewhat more instructive to look into German strings (originating from StarOffice) for the precise meaning of some financial maths terms.

Earlier there was a suggestion of creating some

Is there a language that doesn't have so many
'little' changes that affect so much?  One that
gets all the translations done really fast?
Perhaps Spanish, Portugese (Br), German, French,
Italian?

If so might that be a better language to use as
the base-line to translate from?
