     OpenStack Document Translation Guide
     <http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation/Translation>

OpenStack <http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStack> uses Transifex to manage 
translations. OpenStack <http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStack> Manuals 
are in DocBook <http://wiki.openstack.org/DocBook> format. We slice the 
documents into short statements, then use Transifex to manage the 
translation process, and finally converge the translated content into a 
new copy of DocBook <http://wiki.openstack.org/DocBook>, which will used 
to generate HTML and PDF versions. The easiest way to contribute to 
OpenStack is to start by translating the manuals. Getting started is 
super easy.
