Hi,

is there anyone who objects using xml2po for the tutorial
translations?

See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/DocumentationTranslation
for the process.

With xml2po, translators would get regular po files to translate,
with all the positive effects (no manual looking for string changes;
more dedicated tools than for Docbook; familiarity of amny
translators with the format; translator credits for free (even
though we don't pull them yet for the About box); strings from
included images are in the same file; the Gnome people are using it;
and probably some more).

I am using xml2po for the German translation since pre-0.45, and it
worked quite well so far. I have started automating the conversion
process to HTML/SVG (to the then intermediate Docbook XML) in SVN.

So if there are no valid objections overriding the plusses, I will
soon start converting all translated Docbook XML files to the po
format. Please submit any translated XML files that are not yet in
SVN.

I think now is a good time to tackle that process, considering that
0.46 is probably a while but not too far away, and there are quite
some efforts going into tutorials recently (thanks Ryan :).

Cheers
  Colin
