[WSIS CS-Plenary] CS privacy statement not fully translated during plenary

[Andy Carvin]

Hi everyone,

I don't know if anyone else was listening to the English translation of the
CS statement on privacy about an hour ago, but the translator really
screwed it up. When the statement got to the point where there is a list of
examples, the translator got confused and froze up; he didn't regain his
composure until the examples had all been said in Arabic, so he picked it
up again at "Privacy protects human dignity and individual autonomy." So
for someone listening in English, you could not hear any of the examples
explained. Was anyone listening in French or one of the other official
languages? I certainly hope they did a better job translating the
statement.
