Public bug reported:

I am doing beta 2 testing for Oneiric and found a very strange sentence for this:
"At the heart of Ubuntu’s philosophy is a belief that computing is for everyone. With advanced accessibility tools and options like your preferred color scheme, text size, and language, Ubuntu is all about working for real people."

Which has ended up on a Spanish translation such as this: 
"..., Ubuntu funciona para la gente auténtica." -> "Ubuntu works for authentic people."

I think the original sentence is somehow implying that Ubuntu is not for
everyone, but only for real people, and I am not sure who are "real
people" vs "not so real people". I would like to see something along the
lines of "Ubuntu works for everyone" rather, which is a positive and
neutral sentence and doesn't exclude anyone.
