Many thanks for your interest in translation of Gpg4win manuals! It's great.

Yes, we are currently working on the new Gpg4win Compendium which combines the 
(german) manuals "Einsteiger" and "Durchblicker" and added a lot of new 
content about the new functions/components of Gpg4win2 (e.g. S/MIME and 
Kleopatra).

The Gpg4win Compendium is currently in German only and available in the 
version 3.0.0-beta1 from http://gpg4win.de/download.html.
Note: the document is a beta version. We'll work on it in the next month.

Currently, our plan is to publish the final gpg4win compendium 3.0.0 version 
in the first quarter 2009 - when we publish the final Gpg4win 2.0.0 version.
After that Brigitte Hamilton (she has translate the novices manual) will start 
to translate the compendium into English.

So I think it would be ideal if you can start then (first quarter 2009) with 
your Swedish translation. Of course you could begin with the translation now, 
but you have to sync then the whole changes - it will be a lot of work...

yes, correct.

yes, please contribute your translation to the Gpg4win community!
You can get commit access, if you start working with the translation. You need 
to register here: http://wald.intevation.org/account/register.php 
and then do a "request to join" to the gpg4win project 
(http://wald.intevation.org/projects/gpg4win/).

Please let us know, when do you want to start with the translation.

Best regards,
Emanuel
