Title	Les organisations internationales sont donc impuissantes?
Text Submitted by Francky5591	Source language: French En quelques annÃ©es, le programme alimentaire mondial a perdu la moitiÃ© de son budget, qui n'est plus que de 3,2 milliards. Les pays riches ne cotisent plus. Ils doivent sauver leurs banques. C'est Ã dire les spÃ©culateurs. La lutte contre la faim dans le monde passe aprÃ¨s. J'appelle cela un crime contre l'humanitÃ©.
Remarks about the translation	Propos de Jean Ziegler, recueillis par un quotidien rÃ©gional franÃ§ais, au sujet de son livre "Destruction massive".

Title	So, are international organizations powerless?
Translation English Translated by alexfatt	Target language: English Within the space of a few years, the World Food Programme has lost half its budget, which amounts to no more than 3.2 billion. Rich countries do not contribute anymore. They have to rescue their banks. That is to say the speculators. The fight against world hunger is secondary. I call this a crime against humanity.

	alexfatt Number of messages: 1538	I should have placed "are" before the subject indeed. Thanks for your comments, Lene

	itsatrap100 Number of messages: 279	The translation seems fine to me, but I'm a bit unsure of the meaning of "plus" in the second sentence. Surely the rich countries are contributing quite a bit of food since they are the countries with the most food surplus.

	Francky5591 Number of messages: 12396	Hi Jens! "ne...plus" here was translated the right way, into French it makes no ambiguity at all, it is translatable with "not...anymore". Have a nice afternoon!
