However, that wouldn't be as much help if someone links directly to a
locale-specific document. In other words, we could put a notice here:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/translation-quick-start-guide/index.html
But if someone linked to:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/translation-quick-start-guide/ja/index.html
...they'd never see the notice. Probably still worthwhile, I would
think.
I'm not too keen on constantly removing and adding documents from CVS,
which could end up being a maintenance nightmare, not to mention a major
abuse of SCM functionality. Does anyone have some better ideas for
marking these documents to make sure that readers know they're looking
at something out of date?
Two thoughts:
1. Put a notice onthe t-q-s-g/index.html that says what is updated and
what is not;
1.1 Put a similar notice on the top of all translated guides that refers
to the canonical index.html as a reference to see what is up-to-date of
translations
1.2 This is a manual process, so sucks for that.
1.3 This could be applied to other translated documents.
2. Another manual process would be to populate all out-of-date
translations with a watermark image "Translation Out of Date"
2.1 This could be made automagic, that is, when the POT file in CVS is
changed for a guide, all translated guides get the watermark until the
corresponding PO file is updated.
/me notes ruefully that this would probably be easy in Plone.
Most likely, since this is an essential CMS need.
