Hi,
When you translate pages, please try and restrict your changes to wiki
pages in the group 'WebJa' (or the corresponding group depending on the
language). The reason for this is to minimize the risk of accidental
damage.
So, to give a specific example, please don't modify the page
Site.SideBar
as that page is common to all translations, including the main pages.
Changing this page means it'll change also for the english pages.. oops.
(So I moved your japanese translation to the page WebJa.SideBar, which is
local to the group 'WebJa'.)
As an aside, I should probably move Site.SideBar into Web.SideBar. That'd
make things safer for the future.
best regards,
Chrstian
PS. Please also sign your name when you change a page. This will make it
easier to read the message that's automatically sent to the documentation
list.
Since it's japanese, the abbrieviation is 'ja', so the name of the wiki group
shold be WebJa.
Anyway, now that you have the password, I think we should continue the
conversation on the documentation lists (I think it's lyx-...@lists.lyx.org).
That way others will also be able to read the answers (and they're archived
for the future!).
Oh, just watch out so you don't post the password on the list :-)
best regards,
Christian
