[kepler-dev] [kepler-users] Where to go with the problems of internationalization or how create account into forum?

[Matt Jones]

Hi Anatoly,

If you start work on a translation of Kepler documentation, you can
communicate with the rest of the development team on kepler-dev to update
people about your progress.  I am switching this email thread to kepler-dev
rather than kepler-users as it now pertains to development of new
capabilities and may be of less interest to the users list.

Working copies of the kepler documentation are all found on our svn server
here:
http://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler-docs/trunk/outreach/documentation/working/

Note the _jp suffix on the Japanese version of the Getting Started Guide.
You should use the analogous iso country code for Ukraine.

You can check out a copy of these documents using SVN with a command like
this:

svn co
https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler-docs/trunk/outreach/documentation/working/

Once you get an account established (we are working on that), you'll be able
to add your translated version to the directory.  Unfortunately, it will
likely be difficult for us to assess the quality of your translation, as
none of us who helped write the documentation know Ukranian (as far as I
know).  I will address this issue with the Kepler Leadership team and see if
there is consensus on what approvals are needed for translated documents.
