Appendix G. Notes for Translators

You may find that the MySQL GUI tools and/or their documentation are not available in your preferred language. If you would like to translate the software, or its documentation, or participate in that translation, please contact the MySQL documentation team before starting your translation.

The MySQL documentation team's address is . In your email, please state what you would like to translate (the tools, their documentation, or even the whole MySQL reference manual if you dare), and give some information regarding your background:

We will get back to you as soon as possible.

The format used for both software and documentation is DocBook XML. From that base format, all other available formats (HTML, CHM, PDF, etc.) are being generated. It would be a pity if you started translating, say, the HTML version of this documentation, because we will not be able to use it in that format. Also, you might find that someone else has already done (or is in the process of doing) that translation. So, once again, please contact the MySQL documentation team first.
