Project

German Manual

Translate the English manuals into an understandable German version. See how the look and feel of the laptop is and how to provide more useful online help about the laptop for different target groups (e.g. developer, child, teacher, other people...) Test the help and search in order to improve its potential The idea of OLPC is good. To see what potential is possible in technical writer environment, I will have a look on the system, depending on my daily work. I do know the how to write useful help texts for users.
