Re: Which Help files format translate?

Hi, you should probably ask this question on docs list, instead of  
gnome-i18n (there's greater chance they'll be knowledgeable about the  
issue).

These are most likely to contain what needs to be translated.

These are ScrollKeeper "metadata" files, but I am not sure if they  
should be translated. I believe there was some Sun's guide to doing  
documentation translation -- you could probably look into that.

Probably right -- if there's anything peculiar about the package, you  
would probably see a file like "README.translators", "TRANSLATORS- 
README" or similar.

Generally, it's all package-by-package basis. But the "official" help  
files are probably SGML and XML files which are later used to produce  
HTML, and therefore, used by Yelp.
