I follow the evolution on hosted.weblate.

This looks like a clear description to me and could be a good addition to a future version of the manual. However I am not sure it would be a good thing to introduce this in the bullseye manual at this moment in the release cycle, while this would initiate a new round of translations. > 2.

Referring people who do not understand English at all to information in English does indeed offer little added value. However, some who prefer to use the version of the Debian Edu manual in their native language do not do this necessarily so because they have no understanding of English at all, but because they experience information in their native language as being more easy to understand. And for this category of users, references to further information in English are not completely meaningless. > I don't know if you are the person to be addressed at this regard.

The development of Debian Edu and therefore also of the Documentation is coordinated on the mailing list [email protected]. That's why I put the mailing list in Cc. If you want to make any comments or suggestions in the future, you can send them directly to the mailing list. You do not have to put me in Cc in such a case, since I am subscribed to this mailing list. > Thank you. > > > José Vieira > > > > > > > ----- Mensagem de Frans Spiesschaert <[email protected]> ------ > --- > > Data: Sun, 21 Feb 2021 22:41:41 +0100 > > De: Frans Spiesschaert <[email protected]> > > Assunto: Re: debian-edu-doc - call for translation updates of the > bullseye manual > > Para: José Vieira <[email protected]> > > > > > > > Hi José, > > > > > > > > José Vieira schreef op zo 21-02-2021 om 19:57 [+0000]: > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > I've tried to contact the other two translators, but didn't get any > > > reply. > > > > > > I'll be glad to complete the translation. > > > > > > > > > Thank you for being committed to Debian Edu.
