Re: Permission to translate your page at http://marcpm.sourceforge.net/

[Ed Summers]

Hi Anja

Sorry for the delay. Yes please feel free to translate it and make it
available. I think it's awesome that you want to! I am cc'ing the
perl4lib mailing list where people continue to talk about MARC::Record
and related modules.

Best wishes,
//Ed

Hi Anja,

Is your translation available as POD? I think it would make a nice
companion to the Tutorial by adding it as Tutorial_hrv.pod to Git [1]. I
picked hrv because it is the ISO 639 code for Croatian (the language that
Google thinks your page is written in). If there is a better code to use
you could change it.

The advantage to adding it to the package is you could reference it on
CPAN, like the existing Tutorial [2]. Your tutorial would be mirrored to
all the other CPAN sites, and would stand little chance of being lost :-)

I'm cc'ing perl4lib to let Galen know, since he is actively maintaining
MARC::Record these days.

Hi Anja and Ed,

I agree with Ed's suggestion. There already exist tools to formate pod
into many formats in addition to html. Since your translation is
conveniently formatted very much like the output from pod2html, it
should be easy to look at the English pod source and cut-and-paste the
translated text into the corresponding pod. Then archive the pod and
convert to html (or man, pdf, etc.) when needed.

Also: Ed, make sure you add Anja as a contributor.

I forgot to add that, if you need help converting your translation to POD
and getting it into Git I would be happy to work with you on that.

Hi Anja,

If POD [1] is new to you I might be asking you to do a bit too much. The
main thing is taking your translated text and moving it into a format that
looks like:


https://raw.github.com/gmcharlt/marc-perl/master/marc-record/lib/MARC/Doc/Tutorial.pod

and then committing it back to the Git repository. I think this is
something I can do for you if you want. But if you have the interest and
time to give it a try I could help you. We can use the
perl...@perl.orgdiscussion list [2] to coordinate things too.

Hi All,

I could help as well. I looks like I may have a few TUITs available and
I was going to look at the TODOs anyway.
