Re: Beginning a new translation

Hello Tom,

Hey everyone, I'm about to start translating to manual into danish. I already have the CVS account etc. etc. and a few people willing to help. My question is that since I see livedocs (what the hell is that anyway?)

http://cvs.php.net/co.php/livedocs/README?r=1.14 ;)

in action and constant changing of the english manual (in terms of SGML tags, code-examples etc.), is this a good time to start translating things? Or is it better to wait for whatever reason? My main concern is that we translate something which later needs to be changed again.

Keep in mind that the english manual will always change, even if you translate it all :) One good thing for danish docs is to use the "Revision tracking" thing, you can read more about it here : http://www.php.net/manual/howto/translation-revtrack.html We're using the Revision Comments (9.4.2) for the french translation, and it's really helpful !
