[Scilab-loc] potential es(south america) translator

[Gonzalo Nemmi]

Hi Sylvestre, my pleasure to meet you =)

First reply to the list, so, sorry in advanced if the list prefers
replies at the bottom instead of top posting :s

Thanks for your kind and explanative answer. Really. And yes, please
let me know when the "Module Lycée"'s documentation is ready to be
translated, or even better ... let me know if I can pitch in in
"Module Lycée"'s spanish translation, should there be one ;)

As for your suggestion on translating "Introduction to Scilab" into
spanish: I take it :)

The question now is: how should I proceed?

Is there a text that describes the standar procedure for translators
(like, download file x via svn with the following command: svn co xxx,
translate using utf-8, commit the changes or send them to x at x.com for
review), or should I just do an svn co xxx
(http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/docintrotoscilab/source/tree/HEAD/)?

or use GIT instead of svn?

Which file should I get working on?
http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/docintrotoscilab/source/tree/HEAD/en_US/introscilab/introscilab.tex?

Should I create a HEAD/es_AR/ (Argentina) folder?

Sorry for the storm of questions, but I'm really eager to begin working on it :D

Hope to hear from you soon Sylvestre.
Best Regards.
Gonzalo Nemmi
