Hi everybody, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am new on your list and I am trying to update the French handbook but |
| 4 |
I feel uncomfortable with some aspects in the translation/publication |
| 5 |
process. I take an example to illustrate my point. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Consider the file /doc/en/handbook/hb-install-x86+amd64-medium.xml. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
According to |
| 10 |
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo/xml/htdocs/doc/en/, |
| 11 |
the last EN version committed is 1.28, committed 3 months ago. |
| 12 |
It is also the one I translated and that Sven nicely committed for me a |
| 13 |
few days ago. Till now, everything seems OK. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Nevertheless, going to the Gentoo site and reading the page I can see : |
| 16 |
"Page updated on Feb 11, 2013" and for the French counterpart "Last |
| 17 |
update 1Nov 12, 2012, an original version dated Feb 11, 2013 exist (in |
| 18 |
French on the page of course). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
My question is why this discrepancy ? The files are the same, the |
| 21 |
version and date tags are identical, but the French user is made |
| 22 |
uncomfortable, thinking what he is reading is out of date ! |
| 23 |
If something newer exists somewhere, not already committed, there should |
| 24 |
be the same warning on both pages. Isn't it ? What seems very important |
| 25 |
to me, is that the French ( or any non English) reader is made aware |
| 26 |
that the French (non English) and English versions of the text match |
| 27 |
perfectly, releasing him/she from any doubt. Is there something I missed ? |

Thank you in advance for explanation |
