Re: [Gnumed-devel] Starting with Gnumed

Hello Rogerio,

welcome on this list and I hope GNUmed can help fill your needs.

That's what GNUmed is for.

Great.

Could you point out how to improve the docs ? You may also
improve the docs yourself on the wiki if you wish.

Sure, that help would be most welcome ! What would you like
to start with ? For translation on Debian we recommend using
"poedit". Also install gettext to have access to other
translation tools.

I will send you a file ready for translation off list. If
you translate this (or even parts of it) just send it back
to me and I'll check it into CVS. Please set the encoding to
UTF-8 and the language to, well, pt_BR :-)    As said above
I find poedit to be a nice translation tool.

Feel free to ask about the meaning of strings here on the
list. Some are not immediately obvious ...

That should be interesting.

I will answer in a separate thread.

Absolutely !

Looking forward to hearing from you.
