I have just looked over the appendices and find a lot of French. I hope my 2 years of high school French will be acceptable. There are also a number of dense tables that will be a real challenge. I will do the best I can and I hope to your standards. Rosie (shuddering a little bit)
Well, it is worth considering that Librivox does have the capability that we can have those sections voiced by a French speaker.

But. You are free to give it your best shot. Just wanted to mention it. Also, sometimes tables make for terrible audio if it is going to be huge sections. Let me take a look at them, maybe we should consider skipping them. ? We can ask brrot for some thoughts on it as well. Which sections have the tables, how many pages are there?

I'll get those latest sections you uploaded updated in the MW here in a few moments.

26 seconds of silence at the end of the file. Should be 5 seconds.

I started the appendices and there is too much French for my limited ability. There are many pages of French letters to ministers in France. I do not know what to do. Should I ask someone to read these sections and if so, how do I go about it. There are also 20 pages of charts. I'm not sure how to make them understandable. I'm sorry to say I can't do the French sections. I would appreciate any suggestions to my problems, Rosie

I will take a look in the next few days and see what needs to be done. Thank you.

It is looking like the first 4 months of the new year will be challenging. My apologies for needing to withdraw from designated pl.

Good morning,

I finished re-updating the MW to split up the French from English language letters in the appendix section. Please review at your leisure. Let me know how you would like to proceed, if any changes need to be made for your requested sections, or anything else.

Once all of the English portions have been completed we will look to having the French sections completed by another volunteer.

Thank you.
