Dear Alain,
Thank you so much for your prompt, kind response! I appreciate all of your efforts and the wonderful opportunties that LocJAM provides to translators and localization specialists. This is such a nice community to be a part of.
I'll be looking forward to the next LocJAM Japan, too! (And it would be great if I could get picked up as a native E-->J advisor on a team for this year's LocJAM! I'll try that approach instead. )
Again, thank you again for your time and for everything you do!
Bechichan
