Hello Nickolay, Marco and All - >What about moving all gimp-help to xml2po way of translation? That >will certainly make translation process more managable I'm not familiar with these tools, so I am eager to follow the discussions. It seems to me that as more languages are added, the files get bigger and less manageable -- and it gets harder and harder to find a "corner" of the doc tree to work in. >1.

As long as the "existing tools" means just text editors and such. :-) >1. Translator that use po files will have to precisely follow English > content.

I must note that when I've been updating the English, I've also looked at the content of other languages to see if there's anything I can add to the English at the same time. :-) Would this still be possible? >2. Development will require additional tools - python and libxml2- >python. I think it's a minor requirement. See my previous comment. I don't build or validate my files at all. I simply download them from viewcvs, edit them, and send them to Julien for validation (and they ultimately go to Axel for commit). I don't have or use the tools you mentioned. Is it still possible for me to contribute with this scheme? >I personally agree but, how do you think to resolve the glossary problem? Marco, I'm not sure what glossary problem you refer to. :-( Can you elaborate, please? Between early versions of Gimp and 2.0 (?) there was a major change in the documentation toolset, so I understand. Perhaps this could be considered at the next update of Gimp (2.4?), so the current arrangement isn't disturbed for now. Just a thought. Thank you very much for thinking about the issues and coming up with a proposal.
