Great!

Do you remember how to set up Silva from CVS? The i18n version is on the 
Silva trunk. You need recent CVS versions of Silva and SilvaDocument; 
the other products can remain the same versions as they were in Silva 
1.1 (for instance from the -all tarball), except Formulator. You also 
need Formulator from CVS -- the CVS HEAD of that should work.

A further requirement to test the localisation is 
PlacelessTranslationService. We've developed against 
PlacelessTranslationService-1.2rc1.tgz, so that should at least work.

You can find PlacelessTranslationService here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/collective/PlacelessTranslationService

I see that now there's a more recent 1.0 release. I'm curious to see 
whether that works too. :) Odd that they have release candidates for 1.2 
before they release 1.0..

You know how to set your browser so it prefers German; doing that should 
give you the German Silva UI.

If you find translations in the German po file that you'd like to 
correct, or missing translations (that are in the .po file but not 
translated yet), please correct them and feel free to check in the changes.

If you find strings in the Silva UI that *should* be marked for 
translation but cannot be found in the po file, then we need to fix it. 
If you tell us on silva-dev where to find the strings in the page 
templates or Python code, we'll make them available for you to translate.

If you want to do the i18n marking in page templates or python code 
yourself, we can give you our internal documentation and tools and 
explain to you how to do it yourself. We have a quite detailed procedure 
worked out on how to do it, so i18n-ers should follow it.

Please let us know if you want the latter; it's a little bit of work to 
take and edit the documentation from our wiki, but we have quite 
extensive information on the procedure we worked out. We are planning to 
make this documentation public anyhow.

Regards,

Martijn
