Hi,

A little over two years ago Stefan sent a message on the user list [1] 
about usage of the translated documentation. It only got a single response 
(from me).

The translation of the documentation is done using a Python2 script with a 
script that seems obsolete (xml2po, depending on an external library libxml 
that doesn't seem to exist in Python3). It is non-trivial to rewrite the 
script to Python3 using the available XML processing modules (etree, 
minidom, sax).

This script keeps us from migrating the build tool chain to Python3.

Since there seems to be limited interest in the translated documentation, 
I'm proposing:
- To drop translated documentation from the build scripts.
- To delete the translated docs from the repository: 
Languages/[langcode]/TortoiseDoc.po and doc/images/[langcode] comes to 
mind, possibly others.


doc/xsl/[langcode]

 

- To remove the "Manual" translations from Transiffex
- To reorganise the website and move the translated manuals to a separate 
"translated manuals for older versions".


I suggest to update the website with the next release. No need to remove 
the translated docs now between releases.

And once that's done, don't forget to migrate to python3 :)


Thanks for going ahead with this, I've checked and all looks good to me. I 
updated build.txt as well.

A few nits:

r29640 removed the call to unix2dos from doc.build. I can't find it being 
used elsewhere, unless I'm missing something we could probably remove that 
EXE from the repo.

r29641 removed the includes of translations-docs.html except for one 
instance in the support.zh.html. Was that intentional? I can find no other 
reference to that file so if the last include is removed, the file can 
probably go as well.

Kind regards,
Daniel
