For what it's worth, I had no way of knowing if Sue was involved in this
project or not. My contacts just aren't that forthcoming. :p
Given Sue's reaction to my earlier RealVideo subtitling project, I had even
thought that these projects were one and the same. (Obviously I was
incorrect.)
I can say this: I now know who translated it and I don't believe any of Sue's
material was used.
In closing I'd like to say that I have the highest respect for Sue and I've
corresponded with her for the better part of a decade. It is my hope that if
the LoGH dubbing project continues that she be involved with it and earn her
due (both monetarily and artistically).
