Documentation/Development/User Guides

We use NextCloud as a production site, with published documentation placed on this wiki Publications page and on the LibreOffice website.

Using OmegaT for translation
OmegaT is a Computer Aided Translation tool that can be used to handle the translation of the guides produced by the Documentation team. Miloš Šrámek has made a presentation about his workflow. The wiki page UsingOmegaT describes the process based on the development he shared.
