  25 Text flow
  26 ---------
  27
  28 The original source for the book is freeculture.xml, a Docbook
  29 formattet file.  This file is transformed to the freeculture.pot,
  30 which is the base file for translators.  It was copied to
  31 freeculture.nb.po as the starting point of the Norwegian Bokmål
  32 translation, and the text blocks are translated in this file.  The
  33 translation is maintained using Transifex, making sure translators
  34 only need a browser and Internet connectivity to contribute.
  35
  36 Only the file freeculture.xml should be manually edited!
  37
  38 The freeculture.xml file is automatically combined with the
  39 freeculture.nb.po file to create a new generated file
  40 freeculture.nb.xml representing the Norwegian Bokmål Docbook version.
  41 This file is in turn used to generate the HTML, PDF and EPUB version
  42 of the book.
