[Wiki] Possible error in documentation wineboot

[shakaran]

Hello, I am translating some pages of Wiki of Wine into Spanish:

In http://wiki.winehq.org/wineboot the first line says:
wineboot preforms actions that would normally be done ...

There might be
wineboot performs actions that would normally be done

I am not quite sure, but to translate it was not much meaning in the phrase to the word "preforms."

On the other hand, I would like translate the tool wineboot, it could be translated into other languages, but I think this is not empowered in the archives .rc

I have already made the translation of wineboot -h to Spanish and I would like to see that some developers include it:

Code: Select all

    -u,--update       Actualización del directorio wineprefix

You are correct it's a typo. Go ahead and correct it.

Please make it a patch and send it to wine-patches mailing list. However in this particular case it will require a bit more of work. That text is hard-coded inside a source file. It needs to be moved out to the .rc files.

Ok, fixed.

Umn...make a patch... how? Is there any page on the wiki to explain what (and also translate well)? Do I have to look a little piece of source code and to include to make the patch?

http://winehq.org/site/sending_patches

In short - you need to have Wine's git repository. You make all the changes to it. Compiling and making sure it all works. Then create patch(es) and send them to [email protected]

Oks, I am going to read it, but this is not a Wiki page and there is a version wiki. I will not be able to edit this page to add a link to the translation into Spanish (which would have to make it into a wiki page).

Perhaps you could copy this content to a wiki page.

Well, I sent the first patch http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-pa ... 55157.html

I think we'd be better off moving that documentation to the wiki and
translating it there.

In a mail today of me to Dan Kegel

You can edit it by sending in a patch, if you're comfortable with git.
See http://winehq.org/site/git and look for website.git.

Or you can just turn it into a wiki page, but that's a pain.

To whom should I obey Austin?

You can do either, but the wiki is easier to maintain, and IMHO,
moving documentation to it, then setting up a redirect on
winehq.org/site/git would be a better idea.

[shakaran]

If at this point would be easy.

The main drawback is that all documentation in wine.org/site/ git in HTML and this would cost much time and effort convert into wiki code, unless you know a way to make this conversion easily.

I was talking about source code and what you see when you run 'wineboot --help'.

As to where documentation should be - don't know. Wiki is a horrid editing interface with highly limited formating options. But yeah it's "easy" to edit. Wine's documentation is available in sgml format - which is really hard to edit and maintain.
