Hi all, I've been lurking on the list since UBZ and thought I would chime in. "Linux pour l'etre humain" is a quite literal translation of the Ubuntu english slogan and while grammatically correct, it is awkward. I've noticed a LOT watching french TV in Montreal that slogans are almost never that literally translated, they are usually more loosely associated and composed to get something catchier. I wish I could help but even being bilingual I suck at translating and slogans from what I gather take some rather leet skills, beyond normal stuff. The expediant thing to do would be, as suggested, leaving the slogan out. However, on a personal note, I've always LIKED Ubuntu's slogan, "Linux for human beings" resonates with me, I wish I had the inspiration to come up with something comparable in french to help. <div>On 11/8/05, Brian Burger <<a href="mailto:blurdesign@gmail.com">blurdesign@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Sounds like ditching the slogan is popular... That will also give us more space for the text, which - especially on the French side - is far too cramped for my taste... If anyone wants to rewrite the texts to be shorter, briefer and punchier, please do! (My skills in copywriting are minimal...)
