[Qgis-community-team] About publishing Korean QGIS manual in real book & e-book

[Otto Dassau]

Hi Sanghee,

you are right with the publishing...

... in the long run it might be a good idea to add the Korean translation to
the QGIS Documentation project, too. And we would of course help you with the
conversion to sphinx/rst.

Please follow the current latex to rst conversion process on the
community-list. Once this is done, we can manage the integration of the
Korean translation, if that is ok for you.

If you want, you could already add you to the list of translators:

Kind Regards
Otto
