Um, the original manual is still (c) AFAIK, so I don't think your allowed to do this legally?  :-\

Or did I misunderstand you?

Yes, but it's not a total rewriting of the original manual, I have made some modifications: organise menu, create new chapters, rewrite sentences,...
The original manual inspire me for write the new, I have to modifie the same part in oder to be totally legal. I don't say if I can attach the original manual but I think it's possible for peoples who wants to translate/rewrite.

Thats excellent... ;D

Of course, that would be better if the french manual and the french translation(see topic 1486) had the same vocabulary

I have seen your topic, it's the reason I post this pre-version of the manual, I'm on it since summer 2007 !

No offense but I'm a little worried about the translation.
