This is a known problem in Publican. I thought I'd be able to quickly pull up the BZ ticket that explains this but it seems to be buried in several tickets. I'll continue looking, though, and will reply back when I find it. IIRC, the translated text wouldn't be put into an order and would basically be useless. If you weren't using a Latin or Cyrillic alphabet things just got more wierd. Of course I'm going off of a memory that is several years old. Perhaps the latest version of Publican renders this appropriately. > However, when the translation phase happens, words will change > (obviously), and for latin alphabet-based languages (not speaking > about other alphabets or languages not using an alphabet which will > have the same kind of challenge, maybe not based on word initials), > the initials of those words won't be kept.

I haven't built any translated glosseries lately so I don't know. > Would you have a recommendation about the technique to use to handle > such a sorted list of words, where the order would be kept, using > DocBook? There is supposed to be an acceptable way of doing this but I'll have to go back and figure out what it is. I'm not sure that it completely fixes the problem, however, as I probably would have republished the Fedora index of terms (or whatever it is called) a while back. Maybe it's time to revisit this problem. - -- Eric - -------------------------------------------------- Eric "Sparks" Christensen Fedora Project sparks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - sparks@xxxxxxxxxx 097C 82C3 52DF C64A 50C2 E3A3 8076 ABDE 024B B3D1 - -------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) iQGcBAEBCgAGBQJSOFKfAAoJEB/kgVGp2CYv0X0L/ikhy9jX26rJnRu2i10c/ftf R94hvjElG73Zc6ywOjSHEBkkjBezYpPC84NQXEifOGpstkqEOshkP6tbaqpwTZV3 5XdQ0q/Q/o+7ZhzZIS+Ijf+dGB7DR5r5kWJSRqcD7yhwFFphSobgIYbSJPBaUGYJ eIPGkSWXWgBXtV/xrF8HRn5+GXCzZUj/n8vqBztnZCK8KZr7pLaELyJlkowzNiKY H4LxRaKjGN+CPeNfYE/ctXZea8rSnIwFM1l+wU2IKDx5+pYNSSD8Uu5CZZ7Pa0oI /2VSC2PNYUn4b1FRYZmlGWnG08UV5VIkLucIqSDOdJftgi409Q1CFOVgvpKfHGjI zqIlQ/RmFqn+Gal95UZHrdqHe/y1q82tQS8tntIXYBA2LqgBzBqTyB6V4lJu/1s0 94JGlreuSDlVWfTyeVFUgF4zh2coGfUu8WG1VZ/X1NxXrKKrlV22ChluK0Y7dnJO lDSQvQ1ND/7avYnXodkEgVcwUxr8z6/incnK0FuRKw== =4dTp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
