I don't see an improvement in splitting up the files, unless you also rewrite parts of the documentation, to make things clearer or so. Splitting alone can help in several points: - it's easier to face one smaller file to translate first, and then go on to the next small file next time, then translating one big one - thus translation work is better distributed - also if someone is not able to translate the whole part, the English untranslated parts will still be there in their latest available content (and not that one, which was imported by the time of some partial translation). These were some of the main reasons we made the split of extension documentation to have one file per function.

Re: [PHP-DOC] request for splitting
+1 with Friedhelm, I beleive that splitting large files will ease the translation because it feels terrible when a translator work on one huge file and others in the same team can't help him.. (Most of translators aim to get the smaller files) So it will be better if it's splitted, and then you can easily give everyone an assignment to work on a small file and get it all done in a short time. - Original Message - From: Jan Fabry [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2003 8:10 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DOC] request for splitting (of course, I didn't 'Reply to list' - sorry Friedhelm!)

[PHP-DOC] request for splitting
Hi, some files under /language are really huge and a pain ;-) to translate. What do you think about splitting them up to make them a bit easier to handle and translate? e.g.: control-structures: split by structure types: split by type ... opinions?

Of course, I'll do.. I always hate losing file history like this but guess it's for the best. Granted the old files will be preserved, but still. Anyone that has attempted to locate include() docs will tell you that this restructuring idea is a good one ;) Regards, Philip -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
