Hello all, I've started translating documentation from doc/en_US.ISO8859-1 to the Greek language, and in a local CVS repository have created a doc/el_GR.ISO8859-7 tree to hold the docs while I'm working on them. So far, I've only managed to find three Greek FreeBSD users who are willing to help translating articles and parts of the FAQ. There were a few changes I had to make in doc/el_GR.ISO8859-7/ files to make sure that at least the HTML version of the docs builds correctly. I'm not really an SGML expert, and parts of the HTML output (like `Chapter' and `Table of Contents' words in headings) remain in English, but you can see what has been translated so far at: http://frebsd.labs.gr/index.html A regular 'cvs export' (updated almost daily) of the el_US.ISO8859-7 files can be found at: http://freebsd.labs.gr/doc.tgz Apart from HTML, I haven't managed to make other formats of the docs to build correctly, since adding Greek support to TeX is way beyong my beginner expertise, in TeX & jade. I rebuild the Greek docs every day, to see if there are errors that crept in and their latest version is periodically saved at: http://freebsd.labs.gr/doc-html.tgz For the moment, I'm merging between CVS trees, until we have at least a couple of articles completed. The first chapter(s) of the FAQ are also on their way, and there are plans to start working on the Handbook, once we get to find more volunteers to start working in parallel with the rest of us, or when the FAQ is close to being complete. The question is, when would it be a nice point in time to send-pr the doc/el_GR.ISO8859-7 changes and have them included in the FreeBSD docs? -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
