Title	Autre sujet de colÃ¨re de votre livre : les biocarburants
Text Submitted by Francky5591	Source language: Frans Ils participent Ã l'augmentation des prix des denrÃ©es de base. L'an dernier, les Etats Unis ont "brÃ»lÃ©" 138 millions de tonnes de maÃ¯s pour en faire du bioÃ©thanol. Un plein de 50 litres de bioÃ©thanol consomme 350 kg de maÃ¯s, ce qui ferait vivre un enfant mexicain ou zambien pendant un an.
Remarks about the translation	Propos de Jean Ziegler au sujet de son livre "Destruction massive", recueillis par un quotidien rÃ©gional franÃ§ais

Title	Another subject of anger from your book: Biofuels
Translation Engels Translated by RedShadow	Target language: Engels They contribute to the rise in price of the basic commodities. Last year, the USA â€œburnedâ€ 138 million tons of corn to make bioethanol. A tank of 50 liters of bioethanol uses 350 kg of corn that would allow a Mexican or Zambian child to live for one year.

	RedShadow Number of messages: 143	Hey Mesud2991, I agree for the +another, it sounds much smoother. Now I am even thinking about ".. for another year." (-one). However that seems less 'powerful'; it's got less emphasis on the 1 year I mean.
