<PRE>In esperanto all sustantives end with o, all adjectives with a, all adverbs
with e and the direct object ends with n. The word Mageia ends with a, like
an adjective. If you want to say "I use mageia" the word mageia should end
with -on (substantive and direct object). If you use the original word it
seems an adjective and it does not end with the N of the direct object. For
that reason in esperanto is very common to convert the original names:
linux to linukso, unix to unikso, windows to vindozo, etc.
I just wanted to explain why I chose the name "magejo" for the esperanto
translation. Michael is correcting the translations, so, he can change the
name of the distribution to the original word.
Regards.
