Here #^https://www.transifex.com/Friendica/red-matrix/ is listed, that the german version 98% translated is, but when I click on the Help-Icon (right top in Hubzilla-window) get I ever only english help-texts. Why get I never german help-texts?

I know only two german help-pages:
1) #^https://hub.freecommunication.org/help/about
2) #^https://hub.freecommunication.org/help/features

But 1) and 2) aren't linked at help-navigation left side. How get I access to other help-pages in german? However, my default language for Hubzilla and for Browser is german.

First of all, you should probably just speak English. All the time. And think in English too. However, if this is not feasible, we can explore technical solutions.

In seriousness, though, some of this confusion is my fault. I restructured the #doco this year to be more accessible, consistent, and accurate. Part of that was an improved navigation menu system, and part of that was consolidating related content into longer, sectioned pages instead of numerous, isolated stubs. This long-page format encourages people to read/explore more documentation as they scroll through, and it facilitates browser text search functionality. In the process of restructuring and revising content, however, I did not delete all the pages that had been integrated, so there are confusing redundancies, and I don't know the status of the translations of the newer consolidated pages. I will work on deleting the original content and trying to clean up the help pages so that energy is not wasted translating obsolete content.

How can we translate help page. I started to translate the old help in french and now all has disappeared. I didn't find in this help #doco how to translate #doco in other language.

As far as I remember the documentation is not in transifex, one has to translate the files and put them in the appropriate language-specific folder, then make a git pull request.

@Raymond Monret
How are the rules for translation and commit of Hubzilla help-pages #^https://hubzilla.kosebamse.com/help/ ?

Thanks but this link only leads to the general help, I don't see a word about translations there. Did I miss something?

Right, sorry I am on my mobile and didn't check the left menu. So for the contextual and general help the process is the same as for the e-mails templates as far as I understand. This makes sense since the texts are quite long. It would be cumbersome to put them all in transifex.

Looking at the doco again, I am impressed at the work done by Andrew Manning. Great work!

@Raymond Monret I'm glad you like it. This discussion has re-inspired me to continue working on the #doco, so I'm doing so on a branch here if you want to follow: #^https://github.com/anaqreon/hubzilla/tree/doco

Part of the reason I should wrap up this doco refactoring is so that the translators can efficiently make their translations. It's not quite as much work as it might seem, since I copied and pasted a great deal of text into the "new" pages that already has translations. Most of the new content is less technically useful but will still need fresh translations at some point. I'll keep you updated.

The difficulty in translation is much more git difficulty than translation difficulty. If you don't know how to use git you are not able to translate. Am I right ?

@kris that's correct but if you're a hub admin you have all you need to lake a git pull request.

@Andrew Manning the documentation has not yet been translated into French as far as I know, at least not in the official git repo.

I add problems with git push but I am not the best on git so now I am confusing all and I don't know how to translate again
