So the API Ref weighs in at 3280 HTML pages now, about 750 more than in the last release.

The trick will be in figuring out which of these zillions of pages have substantive changes (i.e., new translatable text, changed translatable text) and which have changed due to non-translatable issues (i.e., changes to the HTML code inside the tags). Translation memory tools are meant to ignore the latter, but I can't leave good translation inside outdated HTML; something is bound to break, or at least look bad, if we shuffle multiple generations of HTML code and tag conventions together and compile it.


I don't think the TM tools are going to rescue me from this. I should figure out a way to translate the source header files instead of the downstream HTML files.
