Re: [Inkscape-docs] [Manual] Update
Well done, Maren! Thank you so much for your hard work bringing us to this point! I really do want to help with this project, but it seems to be flying by before I can find the time. But I'll still try to help where I can. Thanks again, Maren :-D -Original Message- From: Maren Hachmann Sent: Friday, June 16, 2017 7:37 PM To: Inkscape-Docs ; Inkscape User Community Subject: [Inkscape-docs] [Manual] Update Hi Manual folks (and those who want to join us), we have reached a major milestone today: TRANSLATIONS ARE DONE :D 59 of 59 chapters translated! :) The only thing that is left to do for this step is to remove that task from the Community ToDo list on the Inkscape website ;-) (this one: https://inkscape.org/contribute/to-do-list/). I'm going to do that tomorrow. I'm so happy that we're now through with this, and now have a preliminary version available for people to look at.

Proofreading: - - as you all know, the translator of most of the chapters (me) is not a native English speaker.
