Dear Martin,
as I have already informed on the libreoffice-documentation list, we
currently translate the Getting started guide to Slovak. Currently,
about 50% of the text is translated.
We decided to use OmegaT for translation, since it should enable, thanks
to its translation memory, translate new guides using the old translated
guides. We decided to do that this way, since we expected that one day
somebody will start with the 4.2 version :).
The problem with the guide is, that the text is really poorly formatted
- it uses a lot of useless direct formatting, which probably reflects
its long history. Thus, in the original form it is not translatable by
OmegaT. To do that, we had to clean the formatting, which took us tens
of hours. Since CTRM-M does not in fact clear direct formatting, the
work was done partially manually and partially by a script on the XML
level. I've sent a message about that to the list a few months ago,
unfortunately with no reaction:
http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/msg16573.html
In the cleaned version all formating is done by means of styles - there
is no direct formating used. Otherwise, the documents are identical. If
you use the cleaned version, it would enable to me, and also to other
translators, to move smoothly to 4.2 - something which is otherwise not
possible.
I will be happy to send to you the cleaned version - that one referred
to in my older post is not actual anymore.
Best
Milos

Hello
I've started to look at sections of the Getting Started guide with a
view to updating it to the 4.2x branch.
I've made minor, preliminary edits to GS4001 and uploaded the chapter
to the ODF Authors site for review and comment. It can be found here:
http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/getting-started/draft-lo-4.2/gs4201-introducing-libreoffice/at_download/file
I've identified a few aspects that may need updating upon release of
LO 4.2 and noted them in the document. I also tried to note them at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.2, but it appears
that I'm unable to save changes.
Time permitting, I will continue through the Getting Started guide
(skipping the chapters 4,6,7 and 8).
Regards,
Martin
