: ''Linden Lab has created a Style Guide and Glossary for each of the seven languages it supports. These contain the translation recommendations for each language. Reviewing this before beginning translation will save translation time and error, and make changes easier for Linden employees to QA and incorporate in a new viewer.''<br />
