To be repetitive: our goal should be to support localization at our 
Sugar deployments. If possible, we should enlist the help of people at 
the deployment sites since they have the indispensable knowledge for 
translation - a native knowledge of the local language and andequate 
knowledge of the source language.
The purpose of the Lion.activity is to help this along. So far I have 
not received only one comment on Lion - not one from someone who tried it.

As the article explains, there is wisdom embedded in the words of the languages of peoples who have lived in these territories for thousands of years. This is part of humanity's legacy and should not be lost.
