Dear Susan,
thank you very much for the feedback that, as far as I can judge, does
unfortunately come too late :-( because people have already prepared
translations of the old text... a pity!
Dear German-speaking supporters,
Earlier this morning, I sent the message below to Antonio:
this is just to check if what I have arranged with our press office
is what you wanted to have:
* our office sends a short message that invites the press to
watch the live video streams at the given time
* but the German press release will remain blocked until the
live streaming is finished
* however, this would mean that the press release will
effectively be released on Wednesday morning on a special
channel, where all German press has access to (it costs 500
EUR, but our institute is paying it)
* last but not least, our press office has rejected to use the
translation provided by us, because they believe that it is
too technical that attracts no / little attention (according
to them, our translation could be appropriate for being put on
the Web sites rather than being sent as a press release). They
are preparing a free translation that reflects the same spirit
but is more appropriate for the press. This revised text will
be sent to that special channel on Wednesday. I will send it
to you as soon as I receive it.
Now, I have the "free translation" by our press office that had to
remain within the boundaries of 300 words in order not to exceed the
cost of 500 EUR. Here, I would like to simply share it with you (see the
attachment).
Kind regards,
-- Saied
