Currently I have only transfered the translation for the first chapter. The other chapters I will transfer step by step.​ For first part I sent the follow pull request on GitHub: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-docs/pull/92.

Derek’s comment that “git is easy” is true for most programmers, but it seems to be a bit more challenging for others, so we’ll happily take compressed archives (tar.gz, zip, etc.) of a complete translation *in DocBook markup*. You can get compressed archives of the documentation at https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-docs/releases <https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-docs/releases> from which you can copy the construction files.

Di,

Brilliant, thanks.
It will be part of the nightly doc build the day after your PR gets merged. I'm probably not going to have time for that this week, but Geert or Frank might.
