Foreign language Conversions
=====================
I'm begininning to wonder what the point is, to be honest. It seems to be way more trouble than its worth. I imagined that if you gave someone a text file in English they could translate it happily into another language, without adding spurious pieces of formatting all over the place. Its simply not worth the hours of my time to manually fix such errors, so I'm sending it all back so they can do it properly.
Very depressing stuff, but I have better things to do than correct the formatting errors of 3rd parties. In future I'm going to ensure contracts stipulate that my technical involvement is zero in such matters... Retail deals pay a pitiful amount as it is...
