Welcome to the GIMP-Help team!
This tutorial is intended for writing documentation. If you want to translate the documentation or the user interface, please go to "https://l10n.gnome.org/teams/xx" where "xx" is your language code: ISO 639-1 language codes can be found at https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php.
You can join Gnome's Discourse server and subscribe to the gimp and documentation tags. Please, feel free to ask questions. If you do, remember to set the relevant tags, or we may not see the message.
The GIMP help Manual is lodged in a central repository at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp-help. Creating a local copy of this repository to work on makes sure that everyone can work on his own without fuzzing around into works of other contributors.
As a newbie, you will access the git repository anonymously (without an account). Open a terminal and type: git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp-help.git .
If you have a GNOME account, the command is: git clone git@gitlab.gnome.org:GNOME/gimp-help.git .
This will create a “gimp-help” folder in your current directory. Be patient! That's a big download: about 700 MB.
After downloading your local copy, run: cd gimp-help then ./autogen.sh --without-gimp ALL_LINGUAS="en xx".
When running ./autogen.sh, you can notice some not found packages, for example “checking for dblatex... no”. Most of them are related to PDF files and you have to install them before running ./autogen.sh again if you want to create PDF files.
