Translations of this document

Fully translated versions of this document are not yet available. Incomplete translations for Norwegian Bokmål, Spanish and German exist.

HowTo translate this document

Translations of this document are kept in .po files like in many free software projects, read usr/share/doc/debian-edu-doc/README.release-manual-translations for more information on this. Please read also read this, if you want to start/help translating this document.

To commit your translations you need to be a member of the alioth project debian-edu. To translate, you just need to check out some files from from svn (which can be done anonymously), create patches and send those to debian-edu-doc@packages.qa.debian.org.

You can checkout the debian-edu-doc source anonymously with the following command (you need to have the subversion package installed for this to work):

  • svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-edu/trunk/src/debian-edu-doc

Then edit the documentation/release-manual/release-manual.$CC.po (where you replace $CC with your language code). There are many tools for translating available, we suggest to use kbabel.

Then you either commit the file directly to svn (if you have the rights to do so) or send the file to the mailinglist.

To update your local copy of the repository use the following command inside the debian-edu-doc directory:

  • svn up
