[Flightgear-devel] Multi-language support in The Manual

2012-06-16 Thread Stuart Buchanan
Hi all,

Spurred on by Olivier offering to translate The Manual into French,  I've added 
support to The Manual source code and build system that will allow future 
translations to be made in any language supported by the Latex Babel package.  

The approach we are using is to have a single set of source files with 
effectively if (Lang) statements to allow translations to be included inline. 
This will hopefully allow translators to translate one piece at a time, while 
keeping a consistent structure and content across all translations. 

If anyone would like to translate into another language, please get in touch. 

-Stuart

I just built the English PDF using the new language setup.  Please find
the result here:

  http://mapserver.flightgear.org/getstart.pdf

  which is a symlink to getstart-en.pdf and report, if you
observe striking mistakes or errors compared to the previous version.

Cheers,
Martin.
