My intention was to write the document in t2t format which all translators are 
familiar with, then when everything is ready 
output as a LaTeX document, which can then be processed to give a pdf.
LaTeX is very well known for automatically giving great looking documents 
It is mostly used by publishers to typeset scientific and mathematic books, 
papers and other large resources.
Often outperforming word in terms of looks.

I am quite familiar with it, so have no problem doing that, then your friend 
can check it once we have done the english 
document and see if it is as good as everyone says, or if he can make something 
even better for us.

Yes, once the leaflet is complete and translated, it should be available from 
the nvda website, as one of the first documents 
that people should read if they are new comers to the site.

Agreed :)

further points to be included:
* very small footprint, less than 15 mb, requires minimal resources, so will 
even work fine on older hardware.
* "made by the blind, for the blind", 
yes some people dont like the term blind, but it can be quite effective to tell 
the 
truth.

* works with internet explorer, firefox, and crome.


Thanks.
