Re: Translation and new doc-style

For translators, a diff should be as small as possible.

Why? If I want to update pg-num-rows.xml in the de-tree, I see have two options: first: remove whitespaces, change the doc-skel and then update the translation. This means redoing everything Christopher has already done in the en-pg-num-rows.xml. second: copy the en-file with the new structure and replace the english text with the german text or translate the updates. In both cases I don't care how big or small the diff is because I have to change the whole file.

I know that at least the Hungarian translators do that: - look up diff of English file (from revcheck) - change the Hungarian file according to the diff If the diff contains irrelevant changes (ws), it is getting harder. If ws is done in a separate commit, it can be steped over (with incremental diffing).

Sure, but for the new doc style the WS-changes are relevant, no? Friedhelm
