In the brazilian project we're using only text editors and working on
the SGML files.
When we updated the docs from version 7.2 to 7.3 we checked the changes
manually, but we had only the reference guide translated at that time. I
still don't know how we're gonna make it for the 7.3 -> 7.4 update.
Does anyone knows some other way?
