[Bug 974] New: - Put translation infrastructure in place for various Wine documents

Summary: Put translation infrastructure in place for various Wine
                    documents
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-documentation
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

We get several mails from people willing to translate some parts of Wine
documentation into foreign (and entirely alien ;-) languages.
We should have a common framework set up for doing this very regularly,
consistently and well.

I'd suggest that we create a web page for every language with a database backend
which creates a new translation ticket for every documentation patch of Wine for
every language involved (one ticket page per language).
(e.g. by Alexandre CC'ing documentation patches to this system)

Then everyone who is involved with translating documentation could commit the
translation for his language into the *foreign language Wine cvs tree*
and close the corresponding translation ticket on this language webpage.
Once a month an automated build process would take the entire foreign language
CVS tree and build new documentation for the web page to download.
(the idea would be that the main Wine CVS tree would still only contain English
docu, with a short hint at where to get foreign documentation, in the README file)

Someone would have to be willing to develop this for us, though.
Any takers ?

One guy willing to do some translation work is (add others here, too !):

Hi,
I am interested in translating the Wine User's Guide to
Brazilian Portuguese.
I would like to hear your opinion.
Bye.
