[Whonix-devel] translation experiences

Tue Mar 4 21:22:19 CET 2014

Hi,

Thanks for the notes, I figured that out. Since yesterday I tried to
translate the main page. https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Main_Page/fr
For example, I translated
Main Page -> OK
Screenshots -> NOT OK, I translated the title "Screenshots" and that's
OK but I copy/paste again and again the content <gallery>...</gallery>
and that's screwed everytime. I don't know where it goes and why it is
deleted.

Same for "Thanks to..." -> NOT OK, get deleted again and again.

Please advice.
Thanks
