[Gabriel Artigue]

Hello, Christophe. Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, I don't know any other examples of software translated
into Gascon.
I think I can understand from your reply that if I convince you how
different the text in Gascon would be from the Middle Occitan version
you already have, then you would accept my proposal for translating
the text. Did I get that right? I'm a professional linguist, and
although time consuming, I'm perfectly capable of showing the
differences between Gascon and other Occitan varieties.
Thanks again.
Good luck.
