Hi,
Took a look at the file. Most of the info is already on the site; but
I can see why you would prefer to put them into one page: the info
might have been fragmented, making it quite difficult for new
translators to follow the flow of information.
I'll fix a few grammatical things and upload the fixed copy to this list.
BTW, for others: would it be better to edit "translating the
interface" to include a word on testing one's own translation and an
advice that there should be people who are willing to test a new
language? If those are included, then it essentially means we can
include our friend's text file on our site via an existing wiki
article. as for the first part of his file - installing required
programs, I think this can be included as part of "translating NvDA"
intro page. Or, perhaps we could create a page with FAQ's or tips for
beginners to be linked from the translations intro page.
Looking forward to your comments.
