| Hi Francois and Robson,
Thanks very much for your enthusiasm. I've been setting up french and
portuguese repositories for translation. Each translated version will
have its own module, and will be kept separately.
I'm thinking that when a translator works on a file, he should fill in a
comment tag I will add, so we can keep track of translated documents.
When I've finished, I'll post all the information so we can start
working on this.
Cheers and thanks,
Andrés
