I am a contributor in the Spanish Team at translationproject.org. As you
need translators for AUCTeX, I wonder if I could contribute in some way.

> AUCTeX provides by far the most wide-spread and sophisticated

> Emacs or XEmacs. Combined with packages like RefTeX, flyspell and

> the source file, a number of editing shortcuts, intelligent
> indentation and filling of text during entry, and WYSIWYG previews of
> graphical elements like math formulas right in the Emacs source
> buffer, by virtue of its preview-latex component.

> AUCTeX is able to display several levels of super- and subscripts,

> feature, have a look at the customize options
> 'font-latex-fontify-script' (especially the new values 'multi-level'
> and 'invisible') and 'font-latex-fontify-script-max-level'. Also, the
> script characters '^' and '_' are also fontified with a special face
> named 'font-latex-script-char-face'.
>
> Parsing of format specification in various tabular environments has
> been improved. The function 'LaTeX-insert-item' ('C-c <LFD>') inserts
> suitable number of ampersands for '*{num}{cols}' constructs. Style

> AUCTeX has a new Ispell dictionary 'tex-ispell.el' for macros and

>
> AUCTeX has a new customize option 'TeX-raise-frame-function' that is

> Emacs frame.
>
> When inserting a new float, AUCTeX will now prompt for a short-caption
> if the length of the caption provided is greater than a certain size.
> This size is controlled via a new user option
> 'LaTeX-short-caption-prompt-length'.

> Parsing of the compilation log has been reworked. You should

>
> Two new user options, 'TeX-ignore-warnings' and
> 'TeX-suppress-ignored-warnings', allow ignoring certain warnings
> after compilation of the document.

> A new option, 'TeX-PDF-from-DVI', controls if and how to produce a PDF
> file by converting a DVI file. This supersedes
> 'TeX-PDF-via-dvips-ps2pdf' which is still recognized but marked as
> obsolete and may be removed in future releases.
>
> Support for a number of external viewers has been added:
> * Atril viewer. Forward and inverse search requires version
> 1.9.1 or later to work.
>
> * dviout viewer on Windows. Note that this setup works when
> 'TeX-source-correlate-method' is set to use 'source-specials'
> for DVI, e.g.:
> (setq TeX-source-correlate-method
> '((dvi . source-specials)
> (pdf . synctex)))
> which is the default.
>
> * SumatraPDF viewer on Windows.
>
> * Zathura viewer. Forward and inverse search requires a recent
> version of the program to work (3.4 or later).
>
> A new function, 'TeX-documentation-texdoc', for reading
> documentation with 'texdoc' has been added. 'TeX-doc' is still
> available but now 'C-c ?' runs 'TeX-documentation-texdoc'.
>
> AUCTeX has a new custom option
> 'LaTeX-reftex-cite-format-auto-activate' which controls the automatic
> activation of citation formats provided by RefTeX when a style file is
> loaded and RefTeX is enabled. Currently, 'biblatex.el', 'harvard.el',
> 'jurabib.el' and 'natbib.el' use this feature. If you have customized
> 'reftex-cite-format' and want to use your settings, you should set
> this variable to 'nil'.
>
> AUCTeX now has limited support for the TikZ package. For the moment,
> this includes some basic support for prompting the user of arguments
> to the '\draw' macro.
>
> The style 'graphicx.el' went through a bigger overhaul. The optional
> argument of command '\includegraphics' now supports key-val query;

> a side effect, the variable 'LaTeX-includegraphics-options-alist' is
> now no-op and is removed from 'tex-style.el'. You can safely remove
> any customization of it from your init file. The mandatory argument

>
> Support for other LaTeX packages was improved, and style files for

> Requirements
> ------------
>
> It is required that you use at least GNU Emacs 21 or XEmacs 21.4.
> XEmacs requires at least version 1.84 of the xemacs-base package
> (released on 01/27/2004) or a sumo tarball dated 02/02/2004 or newer
> for compiling AUCTeX: please use the XEmacs package system for
> upgrading if necessary.
>
> The preview-latex subsystem requires image support. This is available
> with GNU Emacs 21.3 under the X window system. For Windows[2], Mac OS
> X (Carbon, Cocoa)[3] or native GTK+ toolkit support, at least version
> 22.1 of GNU Emacs is required. Emacs 22 and later is the recommended
> platform for AUCTeX in general. If you prefer XEmacs, it will work in
> version 21.4.10 or later.
>
> You'll also need a working LaTeX installation and Ghostscript.
> dvipng[4] (version 1.4 or later), a very fast DVI converter, can be
> used to speed up the conversion.

> Availability

> The easiest way for getting AUCTeX, for users running Emacs 24.1 or
> higher, is installing it with GNU ELPA, see
> <URL:https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html> for more information.
> Other download options are available at
> <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>. At release time, we provide the
> source tarball, and a platform-independent XEmacs package file (which
> you have to install yourself using XEmacs' own package system, after
> using it for removing the previous version of AUCTeX). You can also
> use versions of Emacs that already include AUCTeX or a software
> package management system for your operating system which provides you
> with the latest release.
>
> The XEmacs package file can be discerned by `pkg' in its name. It is
> usually more recent than what gets distributed from XEmacs servers and
> as part of the Sumo tarball.
>
> A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the
> tarball, such as ChangeLog, printable manuals, and a reference sheet.
> The download area is mirrored to the directory support/auctex on CTAN.
> AUCTeX is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.

> You'll find more information at the web site of AUCTeX

> Future development and additional information
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> AUCTeX is proceeding as a GNU project with the long-term intent of
> merging it into Emacs. For that reason, all new contributors need to
> assign copyright to their contributions to the FSF (the usual
> procedure for Emacs contributors). The same holds for past
> contributors. The principal authors and maintainers have already done
> so, but it would require a diligent and diplomatic volunteer to find
> and ask the rest.
>
> Current AUCTeX managers are Arash Esbati, Mosè Giordano, and Tassilo
> Horn. Everybody is welcome to contribute to the project by reporting
> bugs and suggesting improvements, but the most effective way of
> helping AUCTeX development remains volunteering for tasks.
