<h3><a href="http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation/Translation">OpenStack
Document Translation Guide</a></h3>
<p><a href="http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStack">OpenStack</a> uses
Transifex to manage translations. <a
href="http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStack">OpenStack</a> Manuals
are in <a href="http://wiki.openstack.org/DocBook">DocBook</a>
format. We slice the documents into short statements, then use
Transifex to manage the translation process, and finally converge
the translated content into a new copy of <a
href="http://wiki.openstack.org/DocBook">DocBook</a>, which will
used to generate HTML and PDF versions. The easiest way to
contribute to OpenStack is to start by translating the manuals.
Getting started is super easy.</p>
