Posted: 04/06/09 19:51:18 Hello, There's some possibility to organize the translation of http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/Manual to french. I think particulary to this site : http://www.developpez.net/ This community have ever done the transalation of "Thinking in Java", and "Thinking in C++" is in progress (http://www.developpez.net/forums/f122/c-cpp/contribuez/traduction-penser-cpp/) What do you think about this idea ?

If yes, sure, why not. If someone wants to contribute this, go ahead. Someone like you would have to organize it though. The very old ticket #30 is also of relevance, maybe mostly from a technical view point though.

There is fairly little functionality at the moment to control the wiki, and as such it would have to be done manually. It would probably be good to identify what is necessary?

After, to maintain documentations up to date, IMHO, a workflow of "to translate","translation in progress by {someone}","to rereading","rereading in progress by {other-one}","to publish" and "published". But, in fact, in "developpez.com", a topic is create on a forum for each chapter to translate. Someone reply to take the translation, reply to indicate the translation is done and wait for a rereading. Same for the rereader.
