Re: Portugal portuguese manual files

[Tiago Santos <tiagofsantos81 sapo pt>]

Good afternoon,


I am writing again to you again to ask for the creation of the GNOME 
User Documentation pt-PT on GIT. I have already uploaded the fully 
translated file to Damned Lies, but receive the error:

"An error occurred during applying your action: The commit failed. The 
error was: 'Sorry, adding new translations for documentation is not yet 
supported."

Former circumstances remain and I do not have a GIT account, yet... 
never seam to take time to set it up. Is it possible to up the file for me?


Thank you.

Best regards,


Tiago Santos
