[libreoffice-documentation] Calc wiki FAQ
I have more or less completed these. There are a few which I have not included, as they are not really relevant for English speakers. And there are a couple in the charts section which I have not included because frankly I don't understand the subject! Someone else will have to translate those. Of course they all need checking and quite a few will need new English-language screenshots. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Calc wiki FAQ
Thanks, Hazel, for all your work. Just in time for a well-earned end-of-year break, if you want one. Otherwise, there's always more items on the to-do list. --Jean On 16 Dec 2013, at 3:09, Hazel Russman hazeldeb...@googlemail.com wrote: I have more or less completed these.

Thanks again. Kin regards Sophie So how do we co-ordinate this? My initial idea was to copy and translate the French contents list, commenting out all the titles that don't exist yet. Then anyone who translates an article can un-comment its title as well. Sounds like a reasonable approach to me. I would also like to put a link to the French FAQ on the main Calc (English) FAQ page, with a note that we're translating from the French, and perhaps inviting others to help -- unless those of you already working on this think that would be more disruptive than helpful. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Calc wiki FAQ
Bruce, Welcome. Translating FAQs is a perfect job for someone with only limited blocks of time available. Slow work completion is much less critical than when trying to put together a user guide. So I encourage you to just dive in and do what you can, when you can. If you let us know what you're working on, others won't accidentally duplicate your work. One easy way to do that is to create a link from the Calc FAQ page to a not-yet-translated question; that way it shows up in red and people know it's being done. BTW, many team members are in the UK and Europe; I am in Australia. Also BTW, quite a few of us are retired. --Jean On Tue, Nov 5, 2013 at 5:01 AM, Bruce Martin brucemarti...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Hazel: I just saw this message.

Being retired and alone, I can help with some of the translation, and/or when it seems appropriate, integrate some of the French questions where they have a significant common underlying denominator. Then take those integrated QAs and do an explanatory translation into Canadian English. (While Canadian and American English do have some differences, they are not so great usually as to cause misunderstandings.) since my time is somewhat divided, I may not be as fast in getting content out as some might like, however I may be able to do some of this. I work in a combination of F17-64 bit and Win XP (when I have to) on a self built network with about 20 Tb. online. Time zone here is Eastern North America (same as NYC) and I am usually around later in the day into night. Best Regards, Bruce M.
