The latter position is correct. The strings currently used in gnome-user-docs (natty) will be present in the ubuntu-docs package (oneiric), although updates will be made to reflect changes to the software as between natty and oneiric. For now it is worth translating gnome-user-docs (natty) because updates will be shipped to this package. Do not translate any oneiric documentation, it is too early in the release and these strings may change. The gnome-user-docs (oneiric) package will contain the upstream documentation and will be used for gnome-shell (not installed by default). > Another issue is the upstream translation.

About half the strings in gnome-user-docs (natty) come from gnome-user-docs upstream, so it is worth uploading the translations. > And as for ubuntu-docs, > https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docs/natty/+lang/nl, is this what > is called the new topic-based help help ("Desktop Help"), and will this be > used in Oneiric? No, this will be dropped in Oneiric. This is documentation for the ubuntu-classic desktop, which is present in Natty, but not in Oneiric. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-translators mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
