Re: Re: NetBeans 3.6 Russian

Hi Robert,

What docs exactly should I provide?

The announcement I sent is about that I seem not to be able to 
translate 3.6 in time (before 4.0 release), not that I won't work on 
Russian translation in the future, for 4.0 release.

What I sayd is that even with the help of a specialized translation 
memory application, translating Online Help takes heck lots of time, 
and my assumptions to be able to do it in my spare time fast were not 
realistic.
Either it should have been full-time job, or I shouldn't have been 
hoping to make it fast.

Currently I've created a filter to enable OmegaT (free Computer-Aided 
translation memory tool) work with .properties files, and I'm now 
finishing a program to import existing _ru.properties files into TMX 
(translation memory format in use by OmegaT).

When I'll be ready with these helper tools and import all the past 
work, I'll sinch with 4.0 trunk and continue with it.

Also it'd be nice to promote the existance of half-ready (one 
third-ready, actually ;-) ) Russian 3.6 for those who are interrested 
and call for help with Russian 4.0.

ciao
Maxym
