Hi Martin,

I believe that is not a good idea. It will reformat the content and make
changes tracking a nightmare. Also, translating from changed US wiki to
other languages will be a nightmare.

Let's see - as I said, so far I haven't done any testing, to see how
good it is; I can imagine it works just well, and of course, even the
opposite scenario :-)

I propose you develop a system to have English help editable on wiki but
fully transportable back to the po/xliff system (interchangeable).
All the translations would start from the English po/xliff help files and
decide whether to
a) strictly translate English help (like we Slovenians decided) and keep
working with po/xliff files; the online help would be updated from these
files at least with every minor and major release;
or
b) develop their own help in the wiki and never go back again;

Yes, this seems so far working for most :-)  I'll make sure that all the
work you've done on the the help translation so far is not lost.

Before I go on I need an answer to a question. I tried the help in RC1 and
it seems that help items do not get passed to wiki i.e. the default module
help page opens even if you press F1 in a certain dialog (the previous
bundled help showed that definite topic in the help).

This is a blocker bug, already reported as:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32338

It works in some of the scenarios (eg. in the menus), but not in the
dialogs.  I am working on it, this is of course not intended.

Regards,
Kendy
