Re: What not to translate, for now.

[Tiffany Antopolski <tiffany antopolski gmail com>]

I think an empty po file for the docbook xml for glchess and mahjongg would be good, but those are the old docs, so I don't think it's using the new build tools.  

For gnome-sudoku, I think the po file being generated is from the Mallard docs.  

I just don't want the docbook being translated for anything in gnome-games, as those docs are out of date anyways.

Ya, perhaps an empty po file for work-in-progress is not the best solution.  Perhaps some "work-in-progress" tag, so translators are aware that changes may occur.

Are these documents using the new build tools yet, with itstool? If
so, it's pretty easy to add an attribute that will make the entire
document non-translatable, effectively creating an empty PO file.
That might confuse people, though.
