The Fedora Install Guide is not being translated in Transifex anymore;
it has been moved to Zanata and the Transifex files are not updated for
Fedora 19. The Zanata instance has "only" 759 files :). Yes, it's still
ugly, I'm working on that.

I understand that it might seem unusual and even counter-productive to
split translation projects between two separate systems, with this guide
being the only one being translated elsewhere. See this e-mail in the
list archive from the guide's previous maintainer explaining the reasons
behind the decision:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/docs/2013-April/014951.html.
Your e-mail pointed out something that I feel should be addressed
though. There seems to be some confusion at this point about the
Transifex instance. Is there a way to somehow mark it as obsolete, make
it read-only or just hide or even delete it? It doesn't seem like a good
decision to keep the guide in Transifex and having unsuspecting
translators possibly waste their time working on an obsolete project.

Hi all,
The Defensive and coding guide sports an interesting and forgotten
feature in its file organization: directories.
Beyond directories, it also happens to show files having the same name
(such as Language.xml, found in Python/, Java/, CXX/, C/, etc. or
schema.xml).
You tell me, that is what directories are for. Fair enough.
The real issue here is that pushing .po resulting from those XML files
to Transifex which only handles uniquely named resources in a flat
hierarchy leads to a mess, where there is no predictibility in having
the Language resource always the same on Transifex, depending how those
are pushed.
Could it be possible to rename all those files to unique names, ideally
with the subdir as a prefix (such as CXX-Language.xml or C-schema.xml)
so that we have unique resource names in Transifex?
Furthermore, could we add a requirement to documentation authors in
order to ensure that all XML files in their document hierarchy show
unique names?
This is an interesting problem that the guide's author probably didn't
think of! I'm definitely in favour of renaming these files as a
short-term solution. I suggest that the best long-term solution is to
add a directory-like feature to Transifex. After all, if authors think a
hierarchic information strategy is useful, then translators would
probably also think it's useful.
Another issue: according to the bug Jérôme opened, it looks like Florian
Weimer is the guide owner, but I don't see it in the guides table.[0] So
what's going on here?
Either way, I'd be happy to help rename files, unless anybody objects.
