Hi there,
Currently looking at the translation of the FreeIPA docs, the glossary
will pose an interesting challenge: strings in the DocBook XML file
are ordered, as those are supposed to be in the alphabetic order.
This is a known problem in Publican. I thought I'd be able to quickly pull up the BZ
ticket that explains this but it seems to be buried in several tickets. I'll continue
looking, though, and will reply back when I find it.
IIRC, the translated text wouldn't be put into an order and would basically be
useless. If you weren't using a Latin or Cyrillic alphabet things just got more
wierd. Of course I'm going off of a memory that is several years old. Perhaps the
latest version of Publican renders this appropriately.
However, when the translation phase happens, words will change
(obviously), and for latin alphabet-based languages (not speaking
about other alphabets or languages not using an alphabet which will
have the same kind of challenge, maybe not based on word initials),
the initials of those words won't be kept. And thus the order of
appearance for the words.
Right. I haven't built any translated glosseries lately so I don't know.
Would you have a recommendation about the technique to use to handle
such a sorted list of words, where the order would be kept, using
DocBook?
There is supposed to be an acceptable way of doing this but I'll have to go back and
figure out what it is. I'm not sure that it completely fixes the problem, however, as
I probably would have republished the Fedora index of terms (or whatever it is called) a
while back. Maybe it's time to revisit this problem.
