[Translators-l] Reminder on the urgent Jimmy

[whym]

Sorry for being rude.  I found myself having forgotten to cc my answer
to people kindly replied about the phrase "temple for the mind".

Japanese version now use a phrase 知の神殿 (sacred palace of intellect),
thanks to the ideas shared by Philippe, Ivan, Mohamed and Corinne.

Thanks,
Whym
