See the table on this wiki page for who is translating which chapter: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#Base_Handbook Some modification may be necessary; see discussions on other threads. Also, note there is a "Base Guide" that is being written, mainly by Dan Lewis. The "Base Handbook" translation is intended to be an interim measure to fill a gap in the user documentation. --Jean On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 7:22 PM, Lindsay Kemmlein <[email protected]> wrote: > Translating from German to English definitely sounds like something I would > be up for and interested in doing.
