[WSIS CS-Plenary] Re: Translation Issues

[Alcimar Silva de Queiroz]

Hello Karen, Tracey and all, 

First, thanks, Tracey, for the support to the Portuguese translations; I
think it's very important to the Portuguese Speaking Peoples. 

And, Karen, speaking by mylself, but in contact witn Sonia, I say "yes" to
your question. As you can see, there is a demand for Portuguese Translated 
Issues / Documents... 

If you considerate important, I can translate any documents you need into
Portuguese (e.g. Principle Declaration, Action Plan, Priorities Documents
are ready to be used by now!)... 

What do you think about this?
