10.5 release work...translated doc question

[Myrna van Lunteren <m....@gmail.com>]

Hi

I had hoped to have a test build and release notes ready before now
but ran into some snags.
I think I've worked through them, and plan on generating a test build
tomorrow, but I have a question regarding the translated
documentation.

I believe the brazilian and japanese documentation is out of date.

Should we simply not build these? Not include them in the src? Remove
them from the branch until updated items can be put on trunk and then
backported?

I think these have been out of date for some time. Looking at the pdf 
versions of the Brazilian translation included with our 10.4.2.0 bin 
distribution, I see the following:

- The Getting Started Guide says that it is at version level 10.2
- The Reference Guide says that it is at version level 10--I don't know 
what that means

I don't see a problem with building these translations as long as they 
don't claim that they are at version level 10.5. I think that the 10.2 
versions of these translations are better than nothing. The Brazilian 
Reference Guide should probably state that it is at 10.2 or 10.3 or 
10.4, rather than at 10.5. In any event, I would not remove these 
translations from the source repository.
