I don't know where, but there's a what.html in the Debian's Web Page that is all about it... Let me quote a part of it here: Once you start translating pages, we recommend you start with pages that users are most likely to visit (in rough order of importance): * Most important: main page, .wml files in the main directory. Files in the following directories: intro, misc, releases, distrib, doc, events, searchtmpl and security(*). Also create the translated images for the navigation bar. * Standard: Files in the following directories: Bugs, banners, logos, MailingLists(*), consultants, ports, partners and News(*). * Least Important: Files in the devel(*), vote and mirror directories. Since they are mostly for developers, and the primary language of developers is English, it is only when you have a strong translation team should you attempt to tackle these. Files or directories marked by an asterisk, '*', above are modified frequently, so are harder to keep up to date. hope it helps...

Secondly, translations should be free to add resources that only speakers of that language would be interested in. I understand both and the first one made me ask this question because I thought the second one is very important...

Untranslatable text in w.d.o/devel/people
Hello people, I found out that there's no way to translate a paragraph in www.debian.org/devel/people ... the wml file is translated but there's a paragraph (wich says that there are some groups to handle difficult and/or important packages, etc...) that is always appearing in english... the english's wml file has not that text and I cannot find where else it could be, other than the people.names wich is not in cvs, wouldn't it be better to put this text in the wml? where can I find this people.names?

Re: automatic generation of html's - or not?

To check them, you should install the most recent version of wml (2.0.6), then use make and see that the html pages are created and give the result you expected; you can then use make clean (never commit any of the html pages generated with make!). you could do it just like me, I keep the following directories: webwml/ build/ debian.org/ I use webwml to translate and use cvs, build to build the pages and debian.org is the generated page, wich I linked to my /var/www cause I like to have access to the html pages while translating or checking what to translate... that's an option... By the way, can I give you a hand with the Portuguese translation? I speak continental Portuguese so together we may come out with translations acceptable both in Brazil and Portugal, rather than having to branch out pt_br and pt_pt. Hey Jaime, why don't you join us in the debian-user-portuguese@lists.debian.org mailing list? We have a project called Debian-BR, but that's just a name as we have many portuguese people in it... you're of course welcome to help us with the work we're doing =) take a look at: http://debian-br.sourceforge.net Greetings, Jaime []s! -- Gustavo Noronha Silva - kov /*** .''`. * http://www.metainfo.org/kov * : :' : * GPG Key: http://www.metainfo.org/kov/html/pgp.html * `. `'` * http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=2448987 * `- ***/ Debian pgp7ZcPLkVxS1.pgp Description: PGP signature
Linux - GNU/Linux on related_links.wml
Hello all, I was translating related_links.wml to portuguese and I noticed there were many places on this page in wich the name Linux is used instead of GNU/Linux while refering to the OS as a whole and not only the kernel... I translated it as GNU/Linux cause I think it is The Right Thing(tm) and I suggest the english page is modified... comments?

constraints != constrains
Hello all! I was translating free.wml when I found the word constraints my dictionary tells me its meaning is related to shame...
