It ships with the Postgres sources, in the doc/src/sgml/ directory.

I would suggest starting with the Tutorial and the Admin Guide. Both of
these are relatively short, and are useful to those getting started with
Postgres. The User's Guide may be the most important if you were
translating *only* one document.
With CVSup or anonymous CVS you can keep a local copy of the most
current documentation source, and with CVSup you can do diffs, etc to
find out what is new or changed to help you keep in sync.
The jade/DocBook toolset we use supposedly provides multi-language
support, including Portuguese.
Let me know what I can help with...

We pretend translate all Postgres documents.

I never used CVS before. Where in web I can found help? > The jade/DocBook toolset we use supposedly provides multi-language > support, including Portuguese. What are these tools? Never heard before... Are they SGML tools?

I'm searching a src.rpm of the latest version now. If you are translating docs, you will probably want to become more familiar with the "hackers" and "docs" mailing lists, and the current development tree. The src.rpm frozen files are likely out of date, and are almost certainly not what would be delivered in the next release. The next best thing is the v6.5 development tar file on the web site (I think it is labeled "snapshot"), but the best is described below... > > With CVSup or anonymous CVS you can keep a local copy of the most > > current documentation source, and with CVSup you can do diffs, etc > > to find out what is new or changed to help you keep in sync. > I never used CVS before. Where in web I can found help? I would suggest using CVSup, especially if you are running a system like Linux or FreeBSD which have CVSup binaries available on the Postgres web site. The current docs have an appendix on "Documentation" which describe this somewhat, and I have a new chapter on cvs and CVSup for the next release (I hope; not yet finished). Look in http://postgresql.org/pub/CVSup/ for details, and ask questions here. If you are new to cvs, try "man cvs" for a brief intro and there is a nice Postscript doc available for it also (in file://localhost/usr/doc/cvs-1.9-1/cvs.ps on my older linux box). > > The jade/DocBook toolset we use supposedly provides multi-language > > support, including Portuguese. > What are these tools? Never heard before... Are they SGML tools? Yes, sgmltools-v2.x uses jade/DocBook internally. I do not yet use this package, since it wasn't available when I started these docs, but instead use some linux rpms available from Mark Galassi. Details are in our docs. If you are successful in using sgmltools-2.x please consider writing a description (or posting a description on this mailing list) on what you did. Regards. - Tom
