First, you must *have* the gnucash-doc package installed:
1) Checkout the documentation
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.gnucash.org:/home/cvs/cvsroot checkout \
gnucash-docs
2) Create a new directory (if it doesn't already exist) in guide/<locale>
where <locale> is something like es, en_GB, or pt_PT.
3) Copy the files from guide/C into this directory.
4) Recreate the image files in guide/C/figures so that they are

4) Edit all the sgml files and translate for the locale.
5) Edit all the xml files and translate for the locale.
6) Test that your xml file has no syntax errors
xmllint --valid --noout gnucash-guide.xml
To translate the help files, repeat steps 2-5 but replace the "guide"
directory with "help".
