We have to find a way to store the file name inside the document: 1) without invalidating the DocBook format; 2) without it showing up inside the document text; 3) and in such a way that the master build script (or a dedicated script) can pick it up and apply it to the resulting file (but only for PDF and possibly monohtml as well). (1) and (2) are easy enough; (3) might require some serious work. > Just for the record, all the native language document names existing on > the old site were replaced with English ones on the new site, Yep, this was a very bad move that added to our problems. Or rather, to those of our users. In one blow, this has rendered all the hyperlinks worldwide to non-English Firebird PDFs on our site worthless. > as neither the site team nor myself speak all the supported languages at once > ;-) You don't have to speak a language in order to preserve an existing filename! Anyway, I'll bring up this foreign-file-naming business up again later. There's another side to it as well: I find it utterly disrespectful that e.g. a French document with a French title should be downloaded under an English file name with -fr appended - without any technical necessity.
