This would mean that each +</I>><i> language team would need at least four people so that all the work +</I>><i> could be covered even if someone was ill, on holiday or too busy. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> In larger teams for more popular languages there shouldn't be any +</I>><i> problem finding someone to proofread, but some of the less popular +</I>><i> languages don't even have four people in the team.
