1. Has anyone translated any part of these manuals into Vietnamese? <br></blockquote><div> <br>No.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
2. If not, can we get this text on Pootle (e.g. using po4a [1] which converts many doc formats into PO files)?<br></blockquote><div><br>It's not necessarily that simple, this deserves a longer answer, which I am composing, but for now, I have two comments. 1) There is going to be an effort to update the existing manual (this upcoming weekend in the Washington DC area) to reflect newer versions of Sugar interface, so it might be best to wait until that effort produces an updated manual draft. 2) It might be easiest to use the FLOSS manuals process for localizing their books rather then try ot fit it into a Pootle-centric process.<br>

3. To aid translators like me who are mostly connected to OLPC through Pootle, could we please have a link on Pootle to the OLPC translation howto (priorities, which files are where, how to translate them etc.)?<br></blockquote>
<div><br>There is no question that our documentaion pages on the wiki(s) need improvement. One element of that is consolidation, the existing notes on <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org">wiki.laptop.org</a> is getting out-of-date, but the notes on <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org">wiki.sugarlabs.org</a> are not as complete or as well organized as they could be.<br>
<br>The links on the bottom of this page are a good starting point:<br><a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Translation_Team">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Translation_Team</a><br><br>Anyone is welcome to contribute to improving the wiki, I recently created this page about the various projects on the Pootle server, but more work is needed:<br>
