Tokyo, where our development and operation teams are based, has suffered minimal damage from the earthquake and its after effects. We have confirmed the safety of all our team members, but there are those with family in the affected regions. Due to this, the concerns of the nuclear plants, and the ongoing aftershocks, we are not at our best.

Well, well it looks like I was right, some of the team members have family that have been affected. Hopefully everyone's family is safe. See Betelgeuzah, you just need to be patient.

What are you talking about >_>

I wanted to know what's up, Yoshida told us what's up. Whether it was due to my post here or not doesn't matter, I got what I asked for. I didn't even say I thought the team members weren't affected.

If I understood this right, since their German and French translators are MIA they're working on things that don't require translations for the time being. Sounds reasonable enough. Obviously due to worrying for their families and the blackouts they can't work as much as they want to, but they're not giving up.

If you don't understand never mind.

Though my friends and family are safe, a great many have lost their lives.
Our thoughts and prayers are with them.

Thank you, Taking the time, which I know right now has to be hard to do, to come say this to us means a lot. If there is anything you would like us to do let us know. I am sure I speak for a lot of us on here when I say that we wish we were doing more to help.

Take all the time you need. When 9/11 happened in America all of us that worked in tall buildings were uncertain of our safety. Work was cancelled while we tried to get a grasp on what happened.

必要なすべての時間をかけてください。 9 / 11はアメリカが高層ビルで働いていた私たちのすべての起こったとき、私たちの安全の不確かされた。私たちは何が起こったのかについて概要を把握している間、その仕事がキャンセルされました。...

Please do not give up hope!
Many people in northern Japan are still without electricity, gas, and water. Hopefully your friends are well, but just unable to send communications at the moment.
