I have employed not-so-skilled people in Tanzania to provide
translations of Swahili to business text.

Each of them has got to learn basics of GNU Emacs.

My procedure that I give to people is simple:

1) Read the GNU Emacs Tutorial, go through the tutorial, and if there
is anything they don't understand, we clarify it.

2) Start working.

And this alone works well. I get translated documents and files and
reports this way.

GNU Emacs is just good for total beginners, and I am proving it all
over again.
