Put a notice onthe t-q-s-g/index.html that says what is updated and what is not; 1.1 Put a similar notice on the top of all translated guides that refers to the canonical index.html as a reference to see what is up-to-date of translations 1.2 This is a manual process, so sucks for that. 1.3 This could be applied to other translated documents. 2. Another manual process would be to populate all out-of-date translations with a watermark image "Translation Out of Date" 2.1 This could be made automagic, that is, when the POT file in CVS is changed for a guide, all translated guides get the watermark until the corresponding PO file is updated. > /me notes ruefully that this would probably be easy in Plone. Most likely, since this is an essential CMS need. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.
