Unfortunately, there's currently no mechanism to : - mark a translation as outdated - show what needs to be translated in each language What to leave is a difficult question. My preference would be to leave the translated pages (unless there's nothing interesting left) with a warning saying that they are outdated and the correct version is the English one. The Rolls Royce would be to have a mechanism in Jmol-web similar to gettext we are using in the Application / Applet. But that seems very difficult, and time consuming, so it's not a short term solution unless someone wants to work on it. ** Thinking aloud mode, please comment ** Maybe we could devise something not too complex that would handle easily the first part (marking a page as "Translation outdated") : - a file in each directory containing the list of outdated translations - when the build is done, automatically some text is added in the translated pages to warn the user When someone updates the master version (English), he needs to update the "outdated" file by adding all the existing languages for this page. When someone updates the translation, he needs to update the "outdated" file by removing this language for this page. Ideas to make it clean : - we can create files for each language in Jmol-web/source/doc containing the text to display for outdated pages. - do we need several levels of "outdated": minor updates, major updates, total rewrite, ... ?
