-Flyer created by Vincent Bain
+Note to translators:
+this is a new version of the GRASS GIS flyer. The format is svg, you can view the file with a graphics editor like Inkscape.
 
-Font: Fira Sans
---> mozilla-fira-sans-fonts
+English, french, and partially italian versions are already achieved. You are very welcome to add your translator's contributions !
 
+Dealing with graphics files is not as easy to handle as editing classical localization files. Fortunately SVG is an application of XML, supporting its formalism and the UTF-8 character set, thus quite well adapted to textual editing.
 
-Font installation
+In order to preserve the original document settings, I think it would be better to avoid editing the file from within e.g. Inkscape, but rather add translated chains through a text editor, or better via a dedicated solution like OmegaT[1]. It provides a rather convenient/intuitive GUI to access strings to translate.                 
 
-- Fedora:
-   dnf install mozilla-fira-sans-fonts
+The two-sided document is given a certain page layout. Text blocks are not much expandable : please when translating keep in mind this constraint and try to be as concise as english (I know it's a bit challenging).
 
-- Ubuntu:
-   cd /tmp
-   wget https://github.com/mozilla/Fira/archive/master.zip   # 102 MB
-   unzip master.zip
-   sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/truetype/fira
-   sudo cp Fira-master/ttf/* /usr/share/fonts/truetype/fira/
-   rm -rf /tmp/master.zip /tmp/Fira-master
