Hi,<div><br></div><div>I believe to have a web solution would be great, but there will still be problems with parts of the manual that can not be translated yet.To switch to pootle and then find out that the english reST document still needs to be changed is realistic. Documents with footers can not be translated, Inline code block where lines end with ::</div>
<div> give problems and there are some other problems to overcome. Figures far too small because a smaller font is used in the theme where the units used for the size of figures is related to used fonts. The caption of figures that can not be translated nor the code. All in all, I believe github is not really the biggest problem. The challenge to make sure that all parts of documents can be translated is probably a bigger one. Maybe we should stop using captions for tables and figures. I looked at other manuals build on reST and found they are missing there as well. </div>

<br>
@Werner: ok fine - thanks a lot! Would be great, if you could have a look at<br>
it.<br>
<br>
@Paolo Co: Could you have a look at pootle again and make it work? And if a<br>
translation team decides to only use pootle for their language, do you think<br>
it would work stable then?<br>
<br>
