The main task that needs doing is to copy the changes made in the English documentation over into the Spanish, French, German, and Japanese manuals, so that the translators can do translate it. You do NOT have to speak one of these languages to do this (though that might be helpful). It really is just a matter of going through the English manual, finding the new or changed material (which is marked with change-tracking), and pasting it into the other manuals. It's rote work, but important work nonetheless. Longer-term, we could also use someone to act as documentation manager during the 2.5 development cycle and to do this kind of work along the way. If you'd be interested in that job, please do let us know. Riki Count me in. Thanks, Baris. We have someone doing Spanish. You want to choose a language? See here https://marc.info/?l=lyx-devel=161056092509324=2 for some other details. Please feel free to ask whatever questions you may have. Riki I can do whichever language is available. Where can I get the English manual for 2.4.x? Is it the one that comes with the install? Does it have tracking marks(I did not install it on this PC, so I cannot check it right now)? Please let me know how to proceed. -- ↓↓ Please bottom-post. Start your reply here: -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
