"[T]here is nothing more difficult to take in
hand, more perilous to conduct, or more
uncertain in its success, than to take the lead
in the introduction of a new order of things.
Because the innovator has for enemies all those
who have done well under the old conditions, and
lukewarm (indifferent, uninterested) defenders
in those who may do well under the new."
Speaking of bilingual translations, this one
comes from W. K. Marriott, the Gutenberg Project
of Niccolo Machiavelli. When brethren primarily
English-speaking Cocoa Developers speak of English
it is frequently embarrassing.
"[V]or allem hat er es mit TabViews, die in
Splitviews eingebettet sind. Nicht, dass man nicht
mal mehr den View selber, sondern nur seinen Tabs
anklicken kann, nein, wenn man aus lauter Wute ein
paar Male zu viel klickt - das war's."
This was a question posed a few hours ago on
http://www.kay-web.de/cocoa/main.php . More power
to this site. It clearly is addressing a base of
developers that our current mono-lingual forums
may be missing. If this Apple forum goes multi-lingual
that'll be great. Until then we should support
(not flame) at least one Cocoa/Carbon/Tools forum
per language.
