Tom,
Yes, Hazel has already done the 4.2 translations. The newly translated
material is posted on the ODF site, and has been for months. The new
material in each chapter is in a separate file (one per chapter). That
new material hasn't been integrated into the existing (3.5) English
version. That's what I'm doing now. It can be time-consuming on some of
the longer chapters because we're updating over 3 version changes (3.5
--> 4.0 --> 4.1 --> 4.2) and sometimes things have shifted around quite
a bit.
Also, there are a few passages in the German (usually a sentence or two)
that Hazel missed (very easy to do on a project like this.) I'm
translating those myself. Also, find some passage where the English
translation (both the new stuff and the earlier document) seems to me to
be overliteral. I would have a difficult time understanding what was
going on if I were a user. So I'm rewriting those and checking them
against the app for accuracy and ease of understanding.
Nothing has been done yet with regard to the German 4.3. The plan was
and still is to get English 4.2 out first. That's what I'm working on.
Best,
Alan

Hi :)
Does the 4.2 need re-translating again?
I thought Hazel had already done the translations? Does anyone know
where she might have put the work she did?
Does anyone here know their way around ODFAuthors well enough that
they can help Alan avoid having to re-do work that has already been done?
Alan, until someone helps you find Hazel's work it might be more
useful to work on something else. Apparently a new chapter was added
to the German 4.3 Base Handbook and translating that might be more
useful than re-doing work that has already been done. If the work has
not been done or can't be found then having that chapter would be even
more useful to have done.
Many apols and regards from
Tom :)

I've uploaded Chapter 3 of the Base Handbook v. 4.2 to
http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-handbook/drafts_4.2/bh4-2-ch3-tables/view.
As with the previous chapter, it needs to be edited for
consistency of style and checked carefully against the app for
accuracy. Also, it needs English screen captures to replace some
of the German ones. These should be done on a Linux (preferable)
or Mac installation.
