quaternion keyword got lost in translation
There is a translation issue with クォータニオン. It wasn't obvious in the English article what was meant and it got lost in translation. quaternion is actually a keyword. I would fix the problem but I do not read or speak Japanese, I've fixed the English article to make it more obvious what was meant. Thank you for your work on the LSL Portal. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 21:52, 21 February 2013 (PST)
- Thank you for telling about English document was changed. I re-translated クォータニオン (quaternion/ja) page. -- Naoya Bellic 15:17, 22 February 2013 (PST)
