Hi,

> 2. English writer does a review/rewrite --> 0,5 days
> 3. You get one well written English manual --> 2 days
> Two people --> one manual --> two days

> If we do it my way:
> 1. German writer --> produces good German --> 1 day
> 2. English writer --> translates into good English --> 1 day
> 3. You get two well written manuals in German _and_ English --> 2 days
> Two people --> two manuals --> two days

Isn´t it *one* manual that gets produced in your last example? 
In different languages yes, but still the same manual, right?


> Since we both agree that we don't have unlimited resources the second

Consider this:
1. German writer --> produces ok English manual --> 1,5 days
2. English writer --> produces *another* manual --> 1 day

And then suddenly we get TWO different manuals in 2,5 days. That 
is what I call using limited resources more efficient!
(As you see, I don´t agree with you about german writers writing 
bad english documents.)

Hmm, I think Kasper also has a very clear view of this... I 
think his opinion is that english is the main language for Typo3...
