Hi Ersin

Publican already has basic support for any language for which a DocBook 
locale stylesheet exists, including Turkish.[0]

Therefore, if you have a document in English, you can run:

publican update_pot
publican update_po --langs=tr-TR

to create a tr-TR folder that contains PO files ready for translation, 
or you can create a new document with (for example):

publican create --name=Name_of_Document --lang=tr-TR

to create a new book where the XML files will be authored in Turkish and 
then perhaps translated to other languages later.

In either case, building the book will already include Turkish 
translations for common headings like "Chapter", "Appendix", "Legal 
Notice" and similar. However, by default, it will include a "Document 
Conventions" section in the Preface in English.

We'd love to add support so that the default preface displays in Turkish 
for documents in Turkish. To do that, we need the two PO files attached 
here translated. If you could please help us with that and return them 
to me by email, it would be very much appreciated![1] If you haven't 
worked with PO files before, please contact me off-list and I can help 
you get started.

Cheers
Rudi



[0] the locale for Turkish is about 85% complete and needs only about 
another 30 words or so to finish it; please let me know if you'd like to 
help with this.

translations through Fedora's Transifex interface here:
