(Dave Shenton asked what to do about slow reviewers
of translated material.)

What's in it for them? Is it within your power to
reward them for timely work, at least with a
thank-you note (cc to their boss)?

Are they physically near you, where you can speak
directly to them, or abroad?

What do you do with the reviewers' suggestions when
they come in? Do you apply them yourself? Do the
translators apply them? Or do they get shoved in a
drawer and forgotten?

Do the reviewers ultimately received a fresh and
beautiful copy of the printed manual, both the
one in English and the one in the target language?
