This sounds like the way to go. It will speed up the process. 
   I for one would like to have documentation on how to do this so that I can 
do it also. I have not found it yet.

Subject: [libreoffice-documentation] Base handbook 5.0 in OmegaT 

Hi,

some months ago I have already written about this: I suggest to use
omegat for translation of the handbook. My experience is that this will
simplify and speed up the translation process and will enable to reuse
old translations for new BH versions in the future

If you agree I will
- set up the environment at https://github.com/LibreOffice/OmegaT
- transfer there all existing BH translations
- upload  German -> English translation of GUI strings (so that one
needs not to guess)
- translate the whole guide by Google translate, so that it can be used
to avoid some typing

The next week I will probably not have access to the Internet, but then
I have time to work on that

best regards
Milos
