That XML pack doesn't come with  convert.xsl  (needed in order
to convert from XML to HTML)

You can get the real thing from the RubyGarden CVS.
The CVS version also comes with other tools needed for extracting
and testing sample code from the book.

How to get the CVS version:

% cvs  -d :pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/repository login
Password:  anonymous

% cvs  -d :pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/repository co
ProgrammingRuby

In the spanish translation I created a  convert-es.xsl stylesheet
and according to Jürgen, the same goes for the german version.
We are discussing how will we integrate this in the future.

Of course I didn't mean in FreeRIDE we should do the translation, obviously
that are separate projects by themselves.
I just happen to be in good position to comment on this because I am part
of one of that projects.

FYI, the translated XML docs will include some extra tags that
the english version doesn't have.
This is because we must use accented characters for european
languages other than english, and because we add some metadata.
I guess it's pretty straightforward to understand:

-------------------- example:  foreword.xml header --------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

FreeRIDE will run on several languages, and it would be ideal
that the bundled docs were also localized when possible.

Anything you need, just let me know.
