Isn't that the problem with all written languages being translated.

Take any specification and have it translated to another language. It will lose about 70% functionality due to generalizations of language translation. Take a scientific language (French) and translate to English. Not very "descriptive!" word for word, the translator has to know the subject materials also.

Thank you for sharing this tidbit of information.
I now know to be a little more patient when the "generalized" statements appear in translated specifications. (Root meaning "Specific", not generalized) :P


As with all whom know about running products and/or projects, the devil is in the details. What do you without a good specification that documents these details or existing base to reverse engineer or compare?

BTW, Who wrote the EQemulator specification?

Anyone?

Maybe the Japanese like to be mysterious, and never completely understood. Makes them more life like doesn't it?
