Guidelines for translators
Useful resources for contributors translating the training materials and articles
Thank you very much helping with the translation of our training materials and articles! You contribute to making them available to a larger number of people.
Here are a few resources to help you with this work.
Master document updates
Master documents in OpenOffice formats (.odp for presentations, .odt for exercises) are updated and improved on a regular basis. There is no automated way so far to highlight sections that have changed, and keeping a detailed ChangeLog was way too tedious and unusable by translators anyway. It this therefore recommended to update your translations only once or twice a year.
Translator checklist
Please, make sure that:
- You translate the title of each slide (for presentations) and the document title (in document properties). They show up in the HTML export. When this is done, make sure you update the internal hyperlinks in the contents section. You can check that all links are all right with the cOOol tool.
- You set the document language in Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages, and run the spelling checker.
- You mention the name(s) of the translator(s) in the front page.
