les hommes = <<men>>, le peuple, les gens = <<people>>, les femmes = <<women>>

It's wonderful watching people" not the people".
I think people is ok as the validated French translation uses "men" but can be understood just as "human beings".

@ Gamine, in this case the article "the" is necessary because we are not talking about everyone, but of certain group of people, those "who understand (are skilled in?) their work (craft, job, profession). It could also be "those people"

@ itsatrap, I don't think this refers only to "male human beings", but as people in general. Sometimes a literal translation turns out innacurate.

Hi Isildur... I think we shall use the right punctuation for each language and I think it wouldn't be correct in English: "it's wonderfull, watching the people, who understand their work". What do you think?

I've made some tiny changes. I think it looks better now, doesn't it?

Hi salihinal,
Was that "wonderfull" you wrote an answer to my question in the above message (I think it looks better now, doesn't it?) or a correction?
In any case, the correct spelling of the adjective is: wonderful
