Re: Japanese translation of Learning Manual

Hello Yoshiki,

Thanks for your quick work on the Learning Manual.

It looks like you reverted some changes to get the documentation to compile. 
 I've certainly left the history with some Git revisions that don't 
compile, but reverting changes on your tree is only a resonable solution 
when you (or anybody) have already reported the error on this list and 
nobody has fixed it quickly; in this case, you probably did "git commit -a", 
which included in the first commit a lot of changes not concerning Japanese 
documentation.

I removed changes regarding all files except Documentation/ja before 
applying, and I couldn't find any diff for python/langdefs.py, so even 
though I applied your work on lilypond/translation, its compilation will be 
not be enabled before I apply a patch from you for langdefs.py (I don't know 
how to write "Japanese" in Japanese :-)


> How do I get neat patch?

Don't put changes you make to fix compilation and changes for the 
documentation in the same commit; for example use
"git commit Documentation/ja", and for more details do "git commit --help".

Don't worry about using Git, after some time you will surely get comfortable 
with it.

For now I only have one comments on your work: could you write your name as

@c Translators: Yoshiki Sawada

in the Texinfo sources, as the comma is used as a separator between 
different translators (yes, several French translators are often needed to 
complete translation of one file :-)? Thanks in advance!

Best,
John
