[Olpc-Haiti] [RE] Where to find Haitian Kréyol profes sional translators

[Carmina Mevs]

Hi Geraldine, the french version is here
http://olpc-france.org/docs/OLPC%20Guide%20de%20l%27ordinateur.pdf

But honestly, French or English is not the biggest obstacle, at least not
for me...
it's writing in Kreyol that's the issue...

Do you speak Creole?
Haiti needs your help!
Can you Help?
