Renchi, I think only precompiled documentations _on_ SVN will be include in 
the package.

DOC translations rules are differents than GUI translations. Lets me explain 
any points about Doc i18n rules and package creation. I will use the 
"pt_br" (brazilian) team who provide an updated works  :

The folder :

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n/pt_BR/docmessages/extragear-graphics/?rev=434500

... contents the .po files used to translators for 'translate' the handbooks. 
The .po files are created automaticly by a script from the original docbook 
files in English. Typicaly the translators use Kbabel for this task.

The folder :

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n/pt_BR/docs/extragear-graphics/digikam/?rev=434500

... contents the compiled handbooks translated using .po files. In this folder 
you not find .po files but .docbook files and translated screenshots in PNG. 
This is very important !!! _This_ folder will be used to include handbook 
pt_br translations in the tarballs. ...and this is can be done only if the 
handbook compilation is done before on SVN repository !!!

About GUI translations, If you see in the tarball, you can find all .po files 
who will built (.po to .mo file) during compilation, and then installed in 
the system. This is the major difference between GUI and DOC i18n rules.

Finally, in all case, GUI are always included in tarballs, and only 
pre-compiled handbooks. 

The question is : who pre-compile the handbooks ? Well normally the DOC 
translation coordinators of the i18n teams. And this is done when KDE 
repository is toggle in pre-final release accordingly with main KDE 
coordinators !!!

This way is different for apps included in extragear part, because digikam 
release aren't synchronized with KDE release date !

Laurent, you working with French KDE translations team. Can you fix these 
informations if necessary ? My explanations are right for you ?

Thanks in advance.
