Hi all,
I examined a bit the statistics, and it appears that the biggest docs are :
kdenetwork/kmail 920 messages
kdebase/konqueror 750 messages
kdeedu/kvoctrain 670 messages
koffice/kspread 665 messages
kdepim/korganizer 603 messages
Those docs are hard to translate, as _all_ the messages of a po file need to
be translated before the corresponding docbook file can be generated.
So I would suggest that those docs are split into several docbook files. Each
file could contain one or more chapters, or any other division that makes
sense with respect to the organization of each document. The ideal would be
divisions of 50-200 messages each, which would mean:
kdenetwork/kmail ~ 7 parts
kdebase/konqueror ~ 6 parts
kdeedu/kvoctrain ~ 5 parts
koffice/kspread ~ 5 parts
kdepim/korganizer ~ 5 parts
Of course these values are a rule of the thumb, there could be more or less
divisions, depending on the organization of each documentation.
I can help with regenerating the templates and copying the translated po's if
you need me to, Lauri.
Of course, that can only be done when the freeze will be broken ;-).
Comments, suggestions, and flames are welcome, as usually.
