[Translators-l] Ready for early translation: Tech News #47 (2015)

[Johan Jönsson]

Sorry for the late confirmation of the newsletter being ready for
translation today, I wanted to get some feedback on Purodha's suggested
changes.

It's a simplification, but "template calls" is probably too advanced for
most editors. Tech News is a constant struggle between simplicity and
precision.

I tested a number of different on a couple of persons, but "above" was
really the only thing I could find that worked well. I suggest we go with
the thing that works best for now, and leave above/below until it's a
problem (the survey in question will run for two weeks). Thank you for the
reminder, though, the before/after dimension in a text rather than
left/right is important to remember.
