Stefan from Fiducia & GAD IT announced yesterday that work is well advanced on a German translation of our Supplier Education Leaflet. Originally created by a sub-group of the OpenChain Japan Work Group, the supplier education leaflet is available in Japanese, English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, as well as in Vietnamese as a draft.

See Stefan’s full announcement and call for support below.

As discussed yesterday in Nuremberg during our kick-off meeting of the German OpenChain Working Group, I would like to reach out for support regarding finalisation of a translation of the Open Chain Supplier Leaflet into German.

You can see the current state-of-work at
https://github.com/OCSpecGermanTranslation/OpenChain-SuppierLeaflet-GermanTranslation/blob/master/supplier-leaflet/de/OpenChain-GeneralGuideline-E-0608_DE.pdf

The layout is not yet as complete as in the original - I would like to finalise the design after having sorted out the final German text. Thus, in a first round, quality checking of the text would be a good point to start :-)

My ‚request-for-contribution‘ to you, if you currently want to / can support:
Could you please compare the current German translation draft to the English version at
https://github.com/OCSpecGermanTranslation/OpenChain-SuppierLeaflet-GermanTranslation/blob/master/supplier-leaflet/supplier-leaflet-1.0-en.pdf
and provide corrections and suggestions for improvement? Please feel free to direct any comments to my address Stefan.thanheiser@....

(Should any of you want to go deeper: I ported the document from the proprietary Adobe format I found at Github (sorry, if there should have been any other format there -maybe I did not dig deep enough into the directory structure) to a format of the open source tool Scribus - why not use OSS tools when writing about OSS? ;-).
The "scribus source file" for the PDF can be found at
https://github.com/OCSpecGermanTranslation/OpenChain-SuppierLeaflet-GermanTranslation/blob/master/supplier-leaflet/de/OpenChain-GeneralGuideline-E-0608_DE.sla
and can be edited using Scribus v1.5.5.)

Thank you in advance for your support and best regards,
Stefan
