@Tim, I am quiet busy nowadays so I still did not :(
A nice plan could be to import in Pootle the Training Manual, as you
suggested, and use it as a test bed for the user guide translation
process
next week should be better for me as well - at least I hope ;)

@Diethard, I got in your same shoes with a couple of different files,
I suspect is a docutils/sphinx malfunctioning. I guess our best option
could be to post the problem to the sphinx list, to begin
