Hi all translation team,

I'm glad to announce that the whole digiKam handbook based on DocBook
format is not fully migrated to the Sphinx/RestructuredText framework.
This will help to maintain the manual more easily in time, as
ReStructuredText is so far better in all forms than the DocBook
format, especially for huge documentation.

The infrastructure is based on the KDenLive works (based too on the
Krita works). For the translations of this manual, it will be the same
workflow.

Online manual is hosted in a dedicated web site available here :

https://docs.digikam.org/en/index.html

This means that older Docbook translations from the older manual are
now obsolete...

Typically the obsolete POT files are there (docbook):

https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf5/templates/docmessages/digikam-doc/

The new POT files are there (ReStructuredText):

https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf5/templates/messages/digikam-doc/

The git repository for the new manual still the same than previous one :

https://invent.kde.org/documentation/digikam-doc

Look at the README file for details.

Thanks to contribute and all the best for this new year

Gilles Caulier
