I'm attempting to translate the Mplayer's DOCS and messages. I have 
documentation.xml and video.xml translated, but I need to view the documents 
in HTML to be able to clean some spelling errors and unneeded whitespaces.

My first question is: Is it enough in order to compile the docs to put the 
Makefile from the english section in the bulgarian one, and add "bg" to the 
master Makefile? I have the required tools and libs for the conversion to 
HTML  I also edited the USE_SYMLINKS option to yes. If that's enough simply 
ignore the question, but if it isn't please tell me what do I miss.

My second question is related to the messages header file. It is out of sync 
(427 out of 1049 messages are missing). However, if I translate the missing 
and add to the previous, the style will get messy. Also a few lines are not 
translated according to the recommended convention for translating into 
bulgarian language. Would you matter If I simply translate the whole file, 
ignoring the previous translation. Should I contact the previous translator 
for something?

I will ask you also, will you recognise my effort? Do you have some 
requirements, which I do have to meet?
