Of course you can continue. What can the developers do to help? Ideally, we would like to make documentation available on the main SQLite website in multiple languages. French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and so forth. The main problem we see is keeping the translations up-to-date. Much of the current documentation is generated automatically from comments in the source code, and it changes, sometimes dramatically from one release to the next. Yves, if you want to put together a French translation of all or even part of the SQLite documentation, or perhaps even write separate French-language documentation about SQLite, we will be willing to post it somewhere on www.sqlite.org. We'll ask that you store your translation in a fossil repository. (See http://www.fossil-scm.org/ for details. All current English-language documentation is in a fossil repostitory hosted at http://www.sqlite.org/docsrc.) We will ask that each translated page contain a timestamp of some kind to show when it was translated and that each page have a pointer back to the canonical English-language page. I'll try to figure out some way to have pointers from the English-language pages over to the translated pages. This same offer applies to anybody else who wants translate SQLite documentation into any other living language. D.
