Thank you for help me, but if I set the flag in the monodoc/browser when

That page must be extremely old.  It doesn't reflect the structure of=20
the XML documents that are used now.

The Monodoc documentation is huge, to say the least.  Getting the=20
documentation in English is a huge project (and very unfinished).=20
Translating it is a huge project too.  Maybe on the order of a hundred=20
hours of work.

See: =
http://cvs.hispalinux.es/cgi-bin/cvsweb/monodoc/class/?cvsroot=3Dmono

The documentation is in CVS at /monodoc/class.

Each assembly documented has a directory there.

Within those directories is directory for each language.  Currently=20
there's only "en."

Within that, there is the real documentation.  Each namespace has a=20
directory.  In those, each type has a file.  So, you will want to build=20
a similar structure in a directory for Italian (what's the ISO code for=20
Italian?).

There's probably a flag in the assembler program (in monodoc/browser)=20
that selects English for compiling the docs.  I don't remember.

I'd suggest you copy the type files one by one from the en directory to=20
the Italian directory as you translate them so you can keep track of=20
what's been documented.  It could turn into a big mess very quickly.

Good luck...
