Hi Everyone,

Regarding the translation effort, I think we should consider harvesting what
is up in the Wiki into a proper translated EPF Practices library. We started
the translation effort a long time ago already but my assumption has always
been that this would end op in a library one fine day.

RMC has some export/import functionality I think for supporting
translations. Can we use that? The procedure is to export to HTML files
which we could translate and then import back. I'm not sure about this as I
have never used this. But I think this is not the right approach as RMC is a
commercial product and with this approach we would not have any other way
than with RMC to maintain the translations.

IMHO the RMC approach is not fundamentally different from creating and
maintaining language 'branches' in our CVS repository and then translating
the XML-files directly and/or through EPF. Editing HTML does of course offer
a different experience to editing XML. And everything will be version
controlled so we should be able to recover from big mishaps.

This will require of course a some effort but after the library is
completely translated it will be matter of processing the delta's from time
to time. A good SCM and some diff tools will make this doable?

Do we consider a proper translated library a proper, worthwhile objective
for 2010? Can we live with the branching and XML editing approach I'm
proposing? If we do, I'm willing to investigate this a little further to get
a better feel of what is required/involved.

Best Regards,
Onno
