  24       <div class="date"> 2nd August 2013</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>It has been a while since my last update.  Since last summer, I
  26 have worked on a Norwegian
  27 <a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> version of the 2004 book
  28 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig,
  29 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright
  30 law.  Yesterday, I finally broken the 90% mark, when counting the
  31 number of strings to translate.  Due to real life constraints, I have
  32 not had time to work on it since March, but when the summer broke out,
  33 I found time to work on it again.  Still lots of work left, but the
  34 first draft is nearing completion.  I created a graph to show the
  35 progress of the translation:</p>
  36
  37 <p><img width="80%" align="center" src="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png"></p>
  38
  39 <p>When the first draft is done, the translated text need to be
  40 proof read, and the remaining formatting problems with images and SVG
  41 drawings need to be fixed.  There are probably also some index entries
  42 missing that need to be added.  This can be done by comparing the
  43 index entries listed in the SiSU version of the book, or comparing the
  44 English docbook version with the paper version.  Last, the colophon
  45 page with ISBN numbers etc need to be wrapped up before the release is
  46 done.  I should also figure out how to get correct Norwegian sorting
  47 of the index pages.  All docbook tools I have tried so far (xmlto,
  48 docbook-xsl, dblatex) get the order of symbols and the special
  49 Norwegian letters ÆØÅ wrong.</p>
  50
  51 <p>There is still need for translators and people with docbook
  52 knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
  53 with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
  54 translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
  55 redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
  56 around?  There are also some legal terms that are unfamiliar to me.
  57 If you want to help, please get in touch with me, and check out the
  58 project files currently available from
  59 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>
  60
  61 <p>If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
  62 the updated
  63 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true">PDF</a>
  64 and
  65 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true">EPUB</a>
  66 are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
  67 github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
  68 saw no point in linking to that version.</p>
