One possibility for doing your documentation translation work would be
to use Alfresco, which is what the English documentation team is
using... See http://alfresco.libreoffice.org /

I just wanted to suggest this possibility to you... It would actually
give you more flexibility than doing your documentation work within
Pootle.

If you want to write custom documentation then sure. But not if you just
want to translate the documents.

On German-Nl we used odfauthors [1] for a long time.
The problems are:
- One person must work on a long chapter and if the work stagnates nobody can really see it and can help
- The review starts after translating the whole chapter
- So it is a long time to get a chapter

Now we try to do the translation on the Wiki. As examples see two documents with progress in translation [2] and progress to start translation [3]. After translation we turn it in a odt and give it for a last review in odfauthors.

Some advantages of the work on the wiki are:
- There are many little sections, so different people can work for five minutes up to open end
- More than one person can work on a chapter at the same time
- The sections can be easily marked as "in translation"
- Much more newbies are able to help and to get an easy job. (It is a general problem that many ask to help, but we have no little works)
- Maybe we can have an actual documentation on the wiki

We are *not at the end of testing* to do it on the wiki, but it seems to work fine.
The first chapter is in review.
Three chapters are in translation, one in progress for translation.

If you are interested on our work we can desribe our thoughts and might help.
