As I have been living in the UK for quite a while I can now write more
naturally in English than in Italian, particularly if I have to deal with a
technical issue.
The Getting started guide has already been translated so at present the
majority of the efforts of the volunteers on the localization project is to
review the translated documents and to sort out the process.
It may be useful to try to review one of the chapters as well as to read
the "guida di stile" where you will find the rules we adopted in order to
have consistency in the translation. Now, not that the originals are
consistent, but at least we try to have a uniform style.

To perform the translations we use OmegaT, a Computer Aided translation
(??) program which is a bit difficult to figure out at the beginning but
quite useful in the long run. You may want to try it.

One last thing: normally on these user lists it is more common to use the
bottom posting (i.e. post your message after the original
message) than the top posting (what you do, your reply before the original
message). There are various holy wars on this issue and you will find people
with valid arguments for one or the other, however if it is not too much
hassle it would be nice if you could post at the bottom so that people who
read the message can see first the question, then your reply and so on...

Cheers,

Michele






oops... il messaggio chiaramente non era indirizzato alla lista ma solo a
Sarah... per fortuna avevo cancellato la parte con le offese :-)

Ciao,
