Re: German translations

hi,
i had translated the page with some friends into german, but it was at the beginning (or ~after 1 year of existing adamantix) and the main pages in english are changed. There was no concept of the changes, the changes are still made in existing pages, so that a german-translator must everyday look at all english pages what part was changed and change it in the german translation. That is not good, because the translation work is crashed.i can understand that because of the translation no developer has interrested for this, and only ,fastly changed the english part.some parts must be ordered with numbers like packages, say install-manual-1.html, if something is changed or put in, the new one can still be copied, that's no work for a translator, and write the new stuff in,then change the number, install-manual-2.html,and upload it on the server. so if a german developer is there, or does have fun,time to translate the site,it could be done, and the old work,( could be of a othe
 
 r translator) still exists .that means that on a server exists many install-manual-x.html's in many languages, and, perhaps, everybody (who is no developer or adamantix-member), who wants to change a part of the manual, can do that and upload it as install-manual-1.X.html.

1. so the advantage of this is, that of every file in english, the correct translated file exists.

2. say,the english install-manual-2.html still exists but no translated install-manual-2.html, so, 
   the translator (everyone could be it) directly know if a change is not translated without reading the whole html site and could do the translation work or not, or better, he/she knows if his language is actual, or if someone has correctet something,but in english, or another language could still more actual.

3. for everybody is clear which language the most actual is, because of the numbers.  

thanks and much fun
