You should translate SGML source file instead of generated RTF file. SGML sources are available via CVSup or something. CVSup: http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/cvsup.html CVSweb: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/ Japanese Documentation project tracks original English version by explicitly inserting CVS revision number of English into translated ones. If English version are updated, we notice by mismatching revision numbers.
