Re: Contributing to documentation (2.29, French)

 

Hi Jason,
Thanks for the update.

I'm starting on someting small (2.29, end user manual only), but if this
can be made to work on your main repo & pipeline, I see a lot of value (for
other french speaking customers).
Migration is not a big problem for us.

Q1: Is that repository versionned? Having a branch per version (as in the
other repo) looks like a good idea to me.
Q2: The build process looks to be "hardcoded" for "en" too, if I want to
update, any clue on how to make the build script "language independement"
(or to include french) ?
