The AMANDA-docs are about 760 kB right now, still enough to work on.
My next goal is to make use of the xml-docs-tree for the
AMANDA-releases. The plain-text-files should be substituted (or
accompanied) by some other format, maybe pdf, maybe html ...
(suggestions welcome).

I guess once you have the xml files, the target formats are not a problem. You just have to write a converter.
I play a little with Latex, and it's working the same way.

And this switch to the xml-docs-tree would make it somewhat easier to
maintain the docs, which leads to better quality ...

So must I understand that this switch isn't done yet ?
(From your last posts, I thought this had begun ?)

So to answer your question: No translation-project yet, but I will be
happy to support you in starting one ;-)

For my company, I wrote a quite huge doc in french about the daily use of amanda, and the use of the small tools around, like dd, tar, dump, restore...
This took me a long time, but I liked it.
I already translated some man pages of mutt into french, and I think I could do the same for amanda. I fact, it seems that in France Amanda isn't quite used because of the lack of simple documentation. So instead of re-writing a new doc in french, it could be wiser to translate your xml files into french.

Could you tell me the % of files formated in xml ?
