As example I may note russian handbook which still is under translation and is available from built form from my website, but it will not be connected to build until completely translated (to avoid distributing partialy translated document with main FreeBSD dist) . ask -core to upgrade your commit bits for docs area (count me as mentor :) ) . you will be working on translation (or become "gate" between translators and source tree) . after period when handbook's translation will grow more or other (completely translated documents) appears they'll be connected to build On Mon, Jan 21, 2002 at 08:23:09PM -0200, Mario Sergio Fujikawa Ferreira wrote: > Hi, > > I would like people to review this initial effort of a > translation to Brazilian Portuguese of the FreeBSD documentation. > > The work finished so far can be found at > http://people.freebsd.org/~lioux/pt_BR.ISO8859-1.tgz > It requires patches to > > doc/Makefile > doc/share/sgml/catalog > > which can be found at > > http://people.freebsd.org/~lioux/patch-doc > > This part only contains both mirrors and pgpkeys chapters > of the FreeBSD Handbook.
