<div>Hi Khaled,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I see I have a more conservative rate. I am thinking of using Pootle as the default tool of translation for my team.</div>
<div>But eToys is a big project so I think I am going to use Virtaal in order to profit of the higher speed rate.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So I think if I take 200 words per hour on Pootle, that would be an acceptable indication. (I am setting up a project planning and want calculate the amount of work to be translated.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!</div>

some times less. Only when I use a desktop translation editor (Virtaal<br>these days), using Pootle or any other online tool is much more slower.<br><br>Regards,<br> Khaled<br><font color="#888888"><br>--<br> Khaled Hosny<br>
