Please follow these suggested guidelines when translating Tilde doc's:

This will sound like gobbledygook if you don't know git, but I'm putting it here as a placeholder.

I would suggest linking translations to the specific github commit that they are translating (Just by adding a line with a link to the specific commit on Github.) This means that updating translations can be as simple as:

  1. Diffing the "current" FAQ from the version linked by the translation to see what changed.
  2. Translating/updating just the parts that changed.
  3. Updating the "based on revision LINK" at the top of the translated FAQ

Thus even if things go out of sync it will be very clear what went out of sync. And it becomes very apparent to a volunteer what needs to be done next.

This process can be documented more intelligently than I have done here inside the FAQ itself, in time, if it is adopted.
