I'm not sure, either, but it looks like what I'm trying to achieve at the moment. If you can align paragraphs, sentences and even words, you can automatically incorporate or at least invalidate corresponding sections in translation when original documents change. The problem is that it isn't as easy as it looks... > One thing I did think about before was wether there should be a way to > indicate that a change to the english version wasn't important enough to > warrant the english version overwriting the other language versions. I think it puts too much burden on documentation writers. I mildly protested to the current way of putting out of date warning on all outdated translations no matter what. But it is actually quite easy to sync translation when the change is not extensive so in that case warning doesn't stay long. > Another approach could be to mark all translated pages with a link to the > english version and a note/warning if the english version is newer. > (Just throwing out ideas - I'm not quite sure what I think would be the > best way to go). It's actually already done for manual translation and I think it will be done for website translation, too. -- Yoshiki Hayashi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
