- Well, a previous X1 version had a misspelled, offending (German) statement
- (to put it gently). This release is intended to put things right.
-
- To explain things, I didn't make the original German translation myself. But I
- did originally cut and paste it from various other places - hoping somebody
- eventually would look it through and translate it right at some point. As of
- now, it has not really been systematically edited by anybody. The statement in
- question is a *major* embarrassment for me and I have now removed it. It is
- completely out of context considering my scope.
-
- Generally, I realize that I definitely have a problem, when I ask people (for
- free) to translate the language module into a language, I do not understand
- or have time to check. In most cases I have to trust that people will act
- responsibly. So far this has! been the case. The current problem is mainly due
- to negligence on my part.
-
- I personally apologize to everybody offended - and urge people to delete
- previous versions of the program. I understand peoples outrage and the
- implication consequences.
-
- I also wish to apologize to friends and people having contributed to the
- project. I'm still stunned about how this could actually happen...
-
- I wish to extend thanks to those, who have been standing up for me - correctly
- stating that the statement cannot seriously reflect any opinion on my part.
- People having been in contact with me should know, I don't go around making
- offending remarks about people or nationalities. If the problem had been
- brought to my attention previously, I would definitely have corrected it much
- sooner.
