Re: "gnome-getting-started-docs" video translation

[Petr Kovar <pknbe volny cz>]

Hey,

Just a heads up that when translating gnome-getting-started-docs, you
should not commit the translated SVGs, instead, (re)generate them
with ./autogen.sh && make. The translated SVGs will be generated for all
available languages when releasing a new tarball. The .gitignore file is
properly set to ignore these SVGs.

See the message quoted below for more details.

Please let me know if you have any questions concerning this. 

Thanks,
Petr Kovar
