That's ok. Every bit of extra effort might help lower the barrier for others. >could you give us some information on how it's best to gert started ? [order is not definite] 1) Find out your ISO code, like Dutch is: nl_NL.ISO_8859-1 2) check the doc repo out from CVS and create a new ISO subcategory under doc with the Icelandic ISO code and create some more directories as per the example in nl, fr, es, jp, etc. 3) install ports/textproc/docproj 4) start reading the handbook and translating parts of it 5) submit parts of translations to us through PR's and we will apply them. >Maybe this should be added to the FAQ ? I think if it isn't present somewhere it needs to either be added to the Doc Primer, or a Doc FAQ. >ps. I noticed a misspelled word in the: >http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/current.html#multilingualwebscripts >where it says "The scripts should support multiple languages, not only >once." I take it that the last word should be "one" instead of "once" ? Fixed. Thanks.
