David, Once update to the actual state of French Manual, keeping up to date the English manual will not required much time, but just the determination to update it. At each update I do not expect to write more than a couple of page, probably much less. So what I suggest to you is to fetch the latest drgenius, and updating the English manual. This process may be a bit long, as the French manual is now about 41 pages and the English one 29. But the sooner the better. From the Changelog at the drgenius web site, here are some info which can help to find what to translate: -- The French documentation is now the source documentation, where new stuff are written first. The documentation improvements are in the "DGS par l'exemple", "M?thode de r?f?rence pour DGS", "Masquer des outils dans l'interface", "Ouvrir un fichier"; --- Also I have added an index (for both online and paper version), so you will have to pay attention to that. Of course I can help at any stage of your translation. Best regards, Hilaire PS: Did you get feedback concerning your venue at Paris?
