Ding it this way you can make sure you didn't miss any sgml + tag on the .po files by compiling the evolution guide. + +Of course, translations can be done as usual translating the .sgml files +directly. +But let me point out a few advantages of doing it this way. +* You can start translating the guide as soon as you want. Doesn't matter if + the original files changes. No more waiting for the docu to be called + stable. + +* When a paragraph changes, it is marked as fuzzy, so you don't have to be + playing with diff to find out if the original sgml file changed and where. + +* You don't need to keep several copies of the sgml files (usually you have + to keep a copy of the file you are translating and an up-to-date copy to be + able to do a diff, to find out the changes) + + +If you want to make any modification to my scripts, please let me know before +you do so and send me an explanation of the changes you want to make (this is +only for learning purposes, I allways like to know how to make a better script) +Of course, the scripts are under GPL, so you can do with them allmost anything +you want. +If you want to use this scripts in any other project different from the +evolution guide translation, please let me know (just to make me fell good +because people is using something I wrote ;-) ) + + +Héctor García Álvarez <hector@scouts-es.org> |
