Hi Sophie,
Working on the HC2 l10n of 3.0, there is some blog links (to OOo TNT
if I remember well :) inside to give more help on special features.
Those blogs entries are great of course, no question here, but very
difficult for us to localized, where the wiki page links gives no
problem.
For a quality matter, could it be possible to find a solution that
allow us to have only localizable links inside HC2 files ? Or are
allowed to translate the blog content to put it on the wiki (what is
the licence) and wouldn't that break the file if the links are
different ?
...
Uwe, maybe we should do that with some of the tips anyway (moving
them to the wiki as FAQs or Howtos)?
Currently I only see 5 occurences of links to the OOo blog:
2 in /text/swriter/guide/spellcheck_dialog.xhp
2 in /text/shared/optionen/01010400.xhp
1 in /text/shared/guide/language_select.xhp
For the 5 occurrences above, should Uwe move them to the wiki and
change the links (we have one more chance to change that before
OOo3 deadline).
what would be the correct place to copy the blog entries to? For
example, the blog entry
http://blogs.sun.com/oootnt/entry/adding_more_languages_to_ooo obviously
belongs to
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Writer/FormattingText
But there are already some FAQ entries which cover the blog topic in
parts or that are closely related. Just copying the blog entry would not
look good.
And the whole page is to be divided into separate pages anyhow. And I
don't like the idea that the entry I'm linking to from the application
help will be changed by someone who doesn't know it is referenced from a
certain application help page, may be adding some special developer info
to a page that is aimed at the beginner user, or deleting some
paragraphs because they can be found at another place, and so on.
And translators would not want to translate such a whole long page like
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Writer/FormattingText
just because a link exists to one subtopic.
So I would like to have separate pages for all the FAQ topics first.
Then I can easily copy blog pages to the Wiki and mark them as "this is
linked from the application help - please do not change it too much".
And I would like to have the time to read through all the FAQ pages and
insert links to them from the application help where applicable.
But then, we plan to publish the application help pages as Wiki pages
anyhow, so where is the benefit? May be this: the application help
*must* get translated, no matter if on the Wiki or not, while the other
Wiki pages *can* be translated.
Uwe
