> After a brief interlude, we have resumed our reporting activity. A careful

> report might be ready at Christmas time.
>
> During this month we updated to v5.16.2 and finally completed the translation
> of `perlglossary.pod`.

> The members of the team fully agree on the translations used for most of the

>
> The entries in the translated file are now sorted alphabetically by our
> post-processing script, but we still have to implement a proper way to handle
> entries that have several definitions corresponding to different Spanish
> words.
>
> We also included back `perlcheat.pod` in our CPAN distribution.

> ## New files added this month
>
> * `perlglossary`
> * `perlcheat`

> ## Reported source pod bugs
>
> * [[perl #115458](https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=115458)] `perlmodinstall.pod` Missing closing parenthesis
> * [[perl #115460](https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=115460)] `perlpod.pod` Missing closing parenthesis
> * [[rt.cpan.org #80640](https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=80640)] `perldoc` does not display function definitions with the same encoding used in `perlfunc.pod`
> * [[rt.cpan.org #80527](https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=80527)] `perldoc` cannot find functions sections when is called with `-L` switch
>
> ## Stats
>
> Status of our v5.16 track (currently v5.16.2):
>
> * Total documents: 169 (107 in core docs)
> * Total words: 947,607 (453,544 in core docs)
> * % translated: 33.60% (63.33% of core docs)
> * % reviewed: 20.56%
>
> ## Tools
>
> ### Tools Readme
> We have added a detailed `Readme` to the `tools` section of our github
> repository, describing the different scripts available, their usage, and the
> target audience.
>
> ### Changes in postprocess.pl
> We have added a `sort_glossary` subroutine that gets called if the file name
> is `perlglossary.pod` to sort alphabetically the translated entries before
> applying other beauty treatments.
>
> ### New scripts
> We have added the code that updates the project tracking statistics
> spreadsheet based on the statistics provided by *OmegaT*.
>
> ## Future work
>
> * Report yet more doc bugs
> * At least one of us is interested in automating the perlcheat.pod formatting
> process
> * Release the terminology extraction tool
> * Add documented procedures (in English) to the github wiki

Hi
Congratulations.
I've studied Chinese and Spanish, and I know that translation is hard work.
Cheers
