Thanks for your input on i18n issues

Hi all,
I would like to just add some thoughts about internationalization
(i18n is shorter) of the documentation.
Some native-lang groups will produce its own documentation, some
others will translate what is available in en_US language or other
languages, and sometime it will be both.
For the FR project, I'm currently testing some tools for the
translation of the OOoAuthors Guides.
Translating on the wiki is horrible, I've translated two guides and
they are now completely obsolete and not in sync with the rest so it's
a waste of time finally.
Fully agree
With the .odt files we can use translating tools, glossaries and
translation memory. I'm testing WordForge as the local translation
tool currently (it manages odt -> xliff -> odt), and I think also to
use Pootle to organize the workflow (you can assign roles and tasks,
you know the amount of work is remaining, it's easy to check for
errors like missing translation, double punctuation or missing caps,
extra space, etc, you can work on line or off line and it handles
xliff files).
I would love to use translating tools, as for now, we have not used any
in the Dutch speaking team
Would you be interested by this workflow at an i18n level, or do I go
on only with the FR group here? This question because it needs more
testing (will do after the 3.3 is out), and some styles (the low level
ones it seems) will have to be adapted in the .odt file for conversion
purpose to .xlf files. So it might be interesting to adapt it to your
current workflow and requirements too.
Please keep us updated on your progress, we will give feedback from
Dutch team
Kind regards
Sophie
Best regards
