Thanks for your help.

Looking at the schedule (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Schedule):

*  31 March 2008: PO files due from L10N

Preview Release translation & development freeze

1 April 2008: fedora-release-notes package PR to Fedora release engineering

Is this by April 1, or can it be UTC 2359 April 1?

Do I have to do anything more, other than build it, and check it back into CVS?

What happens if a translation messes up the build? Is there time for
the translator to fix it?

Cheers,

Murray.
