Actually, the translator was successful. I'm not talking about any specific project, I'm mentioning my opinion of machine-based translation in general. It's great for when something just needs to work, but for a project like Django where people have expectations of the quality of the code (which is generally quite high, in my experience), machine translation alone won't cut it. Sorry if you find this ugly, but I tend to find machine translated code ugly. This is not to say you shouldn't try it, just be careful. > I don't understand all the negative thinking. > > Django would probably be a great show case to see whether the planned > transition to python 3.0 works as it is designed.

My opinion (I'm not a mentor or in any way involved in Summer of Code this year) is that some of the other projects provide a more direct benefit to Django.
