How are you planning to translate the SGML documentation? More to the
point, how do you plan to keep the translations up to date?
I ask because I want to organize people to translate the documentation
to spanish. There's already a translated version, but it's for 6.5
(eons old) and they have made little progress in the updating. What I
want to avoid is having to check by hand which pages change and where...
do you have some infrastructure for this?
I've read somewhere that the KDE project uses conversion tool from SGML
to PO, and translate using the PO tools (which can detect fuzzy strings,
already translated strings and such), but I haven't researched it.
