Re: lily doc in french ?

[Jean-marc LEGRAND]

Wow : my first question should have been : does anything already exists !

Your answer makes me really happy !

I've just suscribed to the french mailing list, and I'm still postulating to 
the translation team !

Just one question : are the two lists linked together ? Or is there a french 
lilyworld and a english
spoken one ?

Anyway, je me lance dans la liste française !

A très bientôt
PS : merci aux personnes qui ont répondu à mon appel !

I hope you've noticed lilypond.org French translation, released together
with LilyPond 2.6 in June 2005.

Don't miss the one-year-old address@hidden mailing list, where
French-speaking users give and get support and discuss translations.
Suscribe to it at http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user-fr
and you'll be welcome to the translation team!

All this won't be a problem, and it's a hot topic!


> - does any french user is ok to translate the doc ?

In fact, the tutorial is already translated, see
http://john.mandereau.free.fr
That's a draft which will be removed as soon as it is integrated in the
official docs.


> - is a lily author ok to manage a translation team ?

If managing the translation team means telling what should be
translated, managing commits to the git source repository, helping
translators with technical aspects, I am one of the French managers.

More actually, the Translations Big Boss is one of LilyPond authors, Jan
Nieuwenhuizen, who is currently working on integration of translated
docs into the official docs.

So, for any French translation question, please send a email to the
lilypond-user-fr list first; then, if a complex or technical issue that
I can't solve appears, we'll forward the discussion to the appropriate
English-speaking list.
