Sayamindu-
Thanks for your quick response to the email below.
Enky - just to reiterate what Sayamindu said, we are all extremely appreciative of your translation work, it was a great accomplishment (especially in the short time you did it) In fact some of the core team teachers nearly fainted when they saw it! - etoys has been tough for them to introduce without a local translation.
I hope that any misunderstandings have been cleared up and that we can get everyone's hard work out to the children of Mongolia!
Thanks again- el.

Dear E-Toys team,
Elana asked me to translate E-toys into Mongolian. Therefore, I formed the team of Mongolian professors and translated E-Toys. I worked very hard to translate it and get many advices from them. I sent the translation directly to E-Toys team as well as Mongolian team. Since the time was short, I tried to move on to next step. We have divided our work. Elana asked me to stay in the city to translate E-Toys while rest of the team went to countryside for teacher training.
"Hey thanks for the heads up. I thought he just sent it to us, and had not submitted it. I am working on the revision right now. I'll check online about the translation. Sorry this guy didn't bother trying to do it right."
H Enkhmunkh,
I don't think there were any complaints with the quality of the translations. From what I understand from the original mail, there were syntax errors and formatting problems (the tools that we use for integrating the translations with our software can be very picky when it comes to formatting). I have been very impressed with the progress of the Mongolian team over the past few months, and I'm sure your translations are linguistically flawless. We are trying to fix the formatting errors and clean it up, so that it gets integrated with the software as soon as possible, they have nothing to do with the quality of your translations :). Thank you for your wonderful effort.
Thanks again, Sayamindu
