Hi, document 'cleaning' has been mentioned recently in several threads. It is a necessary step for subsequent translation of the guides to different languages. As it is currently done 'on request', I suggest to add cleaning as a compulsory step to the workflow (described here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/DocumentationTeamInfo/UsingAuthorsWebsite).
Currently I put the cleaned files here: https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/index.php/apps/files?dir=/Shared/SK%20community/Cleaned. Probably nobody knows about them. What is cleaning about: For translation we use the OmegaT tool, which extracts strings for translation directly from the document's xml. This means that the character formatting tags are visible for her/him (tags in OmegaT are abbreviated to <f0>...</f0> or similar). Usually there are too many useless tags (tags seem to remain in the code forever, even if formatting is removed), which complicates the translation process (too many tags, words split by tags to pieces etc). In cleaning all direct character formatting is removed (by a python script) which decreases the amount of tags to the necessary minimum. My suggestion: Add an additional step in the workflow after "Published" (after it in order to not to change to current authoring workflow) by adding a new directory "Prepared for translation". From there (1) a translator would take documents for translation and (2) these documents would be used to start a new version of the given Guide. Who will do that: I volunteer to take care of the cleaning process. I will also create a guide, how to do that and also will place the script to the nextcloud, so that eventually somebody else can do that. As a part of the cleaning process one has to visually check the documents and change eventual direct formatting to the an appropriate character style. thanks for consideration Milos -- email & jabber: sramek.mi...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
