+Isn't that too heavy?
+
+I mean, if the translation is fine enough to be understandable according 
+to it's author or authors, can't it be published more simply?
+
+Linux Lover isn't very used to mailing lists yet. Managing a google 
+group while he is almost the only one to participate in China is perhaps 
+not helping much. So I guess there is no need to block the publishing of 
+one translation because of a simple word... it can be fixed later if 
+really it is not understandable at all.
+
+...how about a translation for "division" or "split" or "scission" if 
+the current word for the fork process really is not that good?
+
