Help translation and screenshooting

Hi,

I am currently translating the help for French and have come to a head  
with the preferences address book page:

In the help as it stands you are supposed to go through 2 dialogues  
when creating a new one.

The problem I have is that I am unable to get the dialogues as pictured  
in the help:
        The first dialogue lets you choose the type
        The second configure the actual address book.
What I get is completely different:
        I get a drop down box for type selection
        The second dialogue does not look remotely like the ones in the  
help

I can't build the files from git so checked against 2.4.1 and 2.3.8  
help which differs in similar fashion.

is this because the source screenshots are old? or some compilation  
trick


Regards
-------
Laurent

Ahhh...old screenshots!  and an old UI!!  As you saw, the "series of  
dialog boxes" described in the help file no longer exists :(

Sorry about that--the help file needs some updating...

Best,

Peter

Hi Peter

Thanks for the info

I have taken screenshots of actual 2.4.1 instead I'll leave the  
translation as it is

200 strings left :)

I only need to figure out why the autogen fails miserably with my  
Karmic machine that can compile 2.4.14 without problem.

Do the errors involve gnome-doc-utils?  If so, you may have better luck  
with bootstrap.sh than with autogen.sh.
