Hi *,
I have tried to translate the first chapter of the German
Base-handbuch 5.0.
The german version is already published here:
http://de.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/
I have uploaded the English version here:
http://robert.familiegrosskopf.de/lo_hb_en/
All chapters would begin with "BH5 ..."
For chapter "Preface" I haven't changed anything I found in the
English BH35. To chapter "Introducion ..." I added a lot.
I have set Writer to Edit > Track Changes > Record Changes / Show Changes.
If there is anybody, who want to have a look and want to laugh a
little bit about the combination of Google Translater and a person,
who couldn't write English very well ...
I will try to translate the other chapters the same way. So I could
add new content, when editing the German version, directly to the
English version.
Hope this would help to publish a newer Verion of the English Handbook
nearly at the same time than the German Handbuch.
Regards
Robert
Hi Robert,
First a very big thank you for your work on the original German Base
Handbook and for starting the contribution of English translations.
If you want others to review your work, should we upload this material
to a new "Base Handbook 5" folder on the ODF Authors website and process
this through the the normal review/edit procedure there?
As a matter of general interest, is there any kind of review/edit
process used in the production of the German edition of this handbook,
or is this something you work on alone? My reason for asking is to see
if there is a way to refine the ODF Authors review process to make it
easier for new contributors to follow. Milos Sramek did not get any
feedback when he raised this issue some time ago, but I believe it is
something we need to give some consideration.
BTW I will not start laughing a your translations until my knowledge of
German is better than your knowledge of English. Which means you will
not hear a single giggle from me for a very very long time. ;)
Thanks & Regards
Dave
I have downloaded chapter 1 to review it. There is a method for doing this.
Right now I don't remember where this information is. I will send it to you by
tomorrow morning. As soon as I can get the review done, I will upload it to the
Base Handbook folder. That is when you can give it an review. I will tell you
when I finish.
Meanwhile, I noticed one thing that needs to be done before anything else:
converted to the 5.0 template. I will be doing this later today.

Hi Dan,
Since you have a greater understanding of Base than many of us here,
it's great to see that you have picked this up. Thanks very much.
It getting late for me now, but I will do the necessary prep work on the
ODF Authors website in a few hours time and get back to you.
I will also answer Robert when I have had some much needed sleep.
Thanks to you both.
Regards
Dave
This link should help you some. It will keep you a little busy too.
