Well, I wouldn't do that now. Let me explain: if you compare XXE to a travel in plane, XXE would be in the take-off phase. I would rather wait until the stabilized flight phase is reached. The stabilized flight phase is not expected to be reached before beginning of 2003. After the take-off phase, the GUI is stabilized, the documents are stabilized and the XMLmind team has more time to help you if this is needed. However, if you want to estimate the amount of time it takes to translate the documentation set or if you are just curious, we can send you by email the sources of the documents. * User's Guide - written in APT (for historical reasons and for quality of generated output, see http://www.xmlmind.com/aptconvert.html) - in our opinion the most useful document (tutorial+how to be productive with XXE) but you know, people do not take the time to read this kind of document. * Online Help - written in DocBook - not very useful but may be the only document a user is forced to read (when he/she is stuck). * Power User's Guide - written in DocBook - very useful but does not need to be translated because the power user is assumed to be an IT professional who can read English. Let me know which document you want (all 3 documents if you want) and I'll send you a zipped archive by email.
