Hi, maintaining and translating LO help via wiki is a no-go for localization (teams).
If someone wants to play with that, he/she can do it as one's own pet project, maybe by creating a fork of LO. But LO should officially stay away from it. Or it will, quite soon, become an English-only office suite. If that will be the case, the localization teams should think about forking LO :-) Lp, m. 2013/10/8 Sophie <[email protected]> > Hi Rob, > > I'm adding the l10n list in copy because they are concerned > Le 08/10/2013 11:16, libreoffice-ertai.nl a écrit : > > Hi Sophie, > > > > As I understood the offline help is now hard to maintain. > > Yes, this is something complicated for developers > This should > > change that so that the help-wiki will be exported for each release's > > offline help.
