Installation Quick Start Guide
by Daniel Cabrera 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

Hi guys, A couple of questions about this guide: (i) In tx.net for the Spanish translations we are using the language code 'es', but this guide is using 'es_ES'. I pulled all the 'es_ES' translations, copied them into an 'es-ES' folder inside the guide directory, but when I tried to upload them into tx.net as 'es' ($ tx push -t -l es), I get this error: Warning: No mapping found for language code 'es-ES'. KeyError: 'es-ES' ii) After cloning the repo of this guide [2], there are 114 *.xml 'en-US' files against 84 resources in tx.net. Is this correct?

Screenshots in User Guide
by Compte Yahoo 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Hi, I just wrote about Custumizing Desktop for User Guide and I see that the Gnome part use screenshots but to write kde part I didn't take screenshots.I think, it imbalance the page contents. So it is all right like that ? Do I need to take screenshots or remove existing ? I hesitate.
