+Some quick note on internationalization
+================================================================================
+
+Project administrators must have generated .pot files::
+
+    $ sphinx-build -b gettext source/ source/translated/pot/
+
+To add a new language
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+#. copy the source/translated/pot directory to 
+   source/transated/your-language-code directory, where your-language-code is
+   the `ISO language code with 2 digits 
+   <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes>`_
+#. rename the files .pot to .po and edit them
+#. compile the .po files you have edited::
+
+    $ msgfmt introduction.po -o translated/it/LC_MESSAGES/introduction.mo
+
+#. to build/rebuild (updating them) all the template files (for Italian)::
+
+    $ sphinx-build -b gettext source/ source/translated/it/
+
+#. This will check if a .po file needs to be updated::
+
+    $ msgmerge source/translated/it/getting_started.po 
+    source/translated/pot/getting_started.pot -U

+********************************************************************************
+Getting Started
+********************************************************************************
+
+This chapter gives a very quick overview of installing |qg|, some sample
+data from the web page and running a first and simple session
+visualizing raster and vector layers.
+
+Installation
+================================================================================
+
+Installation of |qg| is very simple.
+Standard installer packages are available for MS Windows and Mac OS
+X. For many flavors of GNU/Linux binary packages (rpm and deb) or
+software repositories to add to your installation manager are
+provided. Get the latest information on binary packages at the
+website at http://download.qgis.org.
+
+Installation from source
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If you need to build from source, please
+refer to the coding and compiling guide available at
+http://www.qgis.org/en/documentation/manuals.html. The installation
+instructions are also distributed with the source code.
+
+Installation on external media
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+QGIS allows to define a -configpath
+option that overrides the default path (e.g. :cmd-txt:`/.qgis` under Linux)
+for user configuration and forces QSettings to use this directory,
+too. This allows users to e.g. carry a QGIS installation on a flash
+drive together with all plugins and settings.
+
+Sample Data
+================================================================================
+
+The user guide contains examples based on the |qg| sample dataset.
+
+|win| The Windows installer has an option to download the |qg| sample dataset.
+If checked, the data will be downloaded to your
+:cmd-txt:`My Documents` folder and placed in a folder called 
+:cmd-txt:`GIS Database`. You may use Windows Explorer to move this folder to 
+any convenient location. If you did not select the checkbox to install the 
+sample dataset during the initial installation, you can either
+
+*  use GIS data that you already have;
+*  download the sample data from the qgis website at
+   http://download.qgis.org; or
+*  uninstall and reinstall with the data download option checked,
+   only if the above solutions are unsuccessful.
+
+
+|nix| |osx|  For GNU/Linux and Mac OSX there are not yet dataset
+installation packages available as rpm, deb or dmg. To use the
+sample dataset download the file :cmd-txt:`qgis_sample_data` as ZIP or
+TAR archive from http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/data/ and unzip or
+untar the archive on your system. The Alaska dataset includes all
+GIS data that are used as examples and screenshots in the user
+guide, and also includes a small GRASS database. The projection for
+the qgis sample dataset is Alaska Albers Equal Area with unit feet.
+The EPSG code is 2964.

+        PARAMETER["longitude_of_center",-154],
+        PARAMETER["false_easting",0],
+        PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
+        UNIT["us_survey_feet",0.3048006096012192]]
+
+If you intend to use as graphical frontend for GRASS, you can find
+a selection of sample locations (e.g. Spearfish or South Dakota) at
+the official GRASS GIS website
+http://grass.osgeo.org/download/data.php.
+
+Sample Session
+================================================================================
+
+Now that you have installed and a sample dataset available, we
+would like to demonstrate a short and simple sample session. We
+will visualize a raster and a vector layer. We will use the
+landcover raster layer
+|qg| :cmd-txt:`_sample_data/raster/landcover.img` and the lakes vector
+layer :cmd-txt:`_sample_data/gml/lakes.gml`.
+
+Start |qg|
+
+*  |nix| Start |qg| by typing: |qg| at a command prompt, or
+   if using precompiled binary, using the Applications menu.
+*  |win| Start |qg| using the Start menu or desktop shortcut, 
+   or double click on a |qg| project file.
+*  |osx| Double click the icon in your Applications folder.

+    
+    A Simple |qg| Session |nix|
+
+Load raster and vector layers from the sample dataset
+
+#. Click on the |mActionAddRasterLayer| :tool-name:`Load Raster` icon.
+#. Browse to the folder :cmd-txt:`qgis_sample_data/raster/`, select the
+   ERDAS Img file :cmd-txt:`landcover.img` and click 
+   :button-name:`Open`.
+#. If the file is not listed, check if the Filetype combobox at the
+   bottom of the dialog is set on the right type, in this case "Erdas
+   Imagine Images (\*.img, \*.IMG)"
+#. Now click on the |mActionAddOgrLayer| :tool-name:`Load Vector` icon.
+#. :radio-name:`File` should be selected as Source Type in the new
+   :dialog-name:`Add Vector Layer` dialog. Now click 
+   :button-name:`Browse` to select the vector
+   layer.
+#. Browse to the folder :cmd-txt:`qgis_sample_data/gml/`, select "GML"
+   from the filetype combobox, then select the GML file :cmd-txt:`lakes.gml`
+   and click :button-name:`Open`, then in Add Vector dialog click 
+   :button-name:`OK`.
+#. Zoom in a bit to your favorite area with some lakes.
+#. Double click the :cmd-txt:`lakes` layer in the map legend to open the
+   :dialog-name:`Properties` dialog.
+#. Click on the :tab-name:`Style` tab and select a blue as fill color.
+#. Click on the :tab-name:`Labels` tab and check the :check-name:`Display 
+   labels` checkbox to
+   enable labeling. Choose NAMES field as field containing label.
+#. To improve readability of labels, you can add a white buffer around
+   them, by clicking "Buffer" in the list on the left, checking
+   :check-name:`Buffer labels?` and choosing 3 as buffer size.
+#. Click :button-name:`Apply`, check if the result looks good and 
+   finally click :button-name:`OK`.
+
+You can see how easy it is to visualize raster and vector layers
+in . Let's move on to the sections that follow to learn more about
+the available functionality, features and settings and how to use
+them.

+********************************************************************************
+Introduction To GIS
+********************************************************************************
+
+A Geographical Information System (GIS) [1]_ is a
+collection of software that allows you to create, visualize, query
+and analyze geospatial data. Geospatial data refers to information
+about the geographic location of an entity. This often involves the
+use of a geographic coordinate, like a latitude or longitude value.
+Spatial data is another commonly used term, as are: geographic
+data, GIS data, map data, location data, coordinate data and
+spatial geometry data.
+
+Applications using geospatial data perform a variety of functions.
+Map production is the most easily understood function of geospatial
+applications. Mapping programs take geospatial data and render it
+in a form that is viewable, usually on a computer screen or printed
+page. Applications can present static maps (a simple image) or
+dynamic maps that are customised by the person viewing the map
+through a desktop program or a web page.
+
+Many people mistakenly assume that geospatial applications just
+produce maps, but geospatial data analysis is another primary
+function of geospatial applications. Some typical types of analysis
+include computing:
+
+
+#. distances between geographic locations
+
+#. the amount of area (e.g., square meters) within a certain
+   geographic region
+
+#. what geographic features overlap other features
+
+#. the amount of overlap between features
+
+#. the number of locations within a certain distance of another
+
+#. and so on...
+
+
+These may seem simplistic, but can be applied in all sorts of ways
+across many disciplines. The results of analysis may be shown on a
+map, but are often tabulated into a report to support management
+decisions.
+
+The recent phenomena of location-based services promises to
+introduce all sorts of other features, but many will be based on a
+combination of maps and analysis. For example, you have a cell
+phone that tracks your geographic location. If you have the right
+software, your phone can tell you what kind of restaurants are
+within walking distance. While this is a novel application of
+geospatial technology, it is essentially doing geospatial data
+analysis and listing the results for you.
+
+Why is all this so new?
+================================================================================
+
+Well, it's not. There are many new hardware devices that are
+enabling mobile geospatial services. Many open source geospatial
+applications are also available, but the existence of geospatially
+focused hardware and software is nothing new. Global positioning
+system (GPS) receivers are becoming commonplace, but have been used
+in various industries for more than a decade. Likewise, desktop
+mapping and analysis tools have also been a major commercial
+market, primarily focused on industries such as natural resource
+management.
+
+What is new is how the latest hardware and software is being
+applied and who is applying it. Traditional users of mapping and
+analysis tools were highly trained GIS Analysts or digital mapping
+technicians trained to use CAD-like tools. Now, the processing
+capabilities of home PCs and open source software (OSS) packages
+have enabled an army of hobbyists, professionals, web developers,
+etc. to interact with geospatial data. The learning curve has come
+down. The costs have come down. The amount of geospatial technology
+saturation has increased.
+
+How is geospatial data stored? In a nutshell, there are two types
+of geospatial data in widespread use today. This is in addition to
+traditional tabular data that is also widely used by geospatial
+applications.
+
+Raster Data
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+One type of geospatial data is called raster data or simply "a
+raster". The most easily recognised form of raster data is digital
+satellite imagery or air photos. Elevation shading or digital
+elevation models are also typically represented as raster data. Any
+type of map feature can be represented as raster data, but there
+are limitations.
+
+A raster is a regular grid made up of cells, or in the case of
+imagery, pixels. They have a fixed number of rows and columns. Each
+cell has a numeric value and has a certain geographic size (e.g.
+30x30 meters in size).
+
+Multiple overlapping rasters are used to represent images using
+more than one colour value (i.e. one raster for each set of red,
+green and blue values is combined to create a colour image).
+Satellite imagery also represents data in multiple "bands". Each
+band is essentially a separate, spatially overlapping raster, where
+each band holds values of certain wavelengths of light. As you can
+imagine, a large raster takes up more file space. A raster with
+smaller cells can provide more detail, but takes up more file
+space. The trick is finding the right balance between cell size for
+storage purposes and cell size for analytical or mapping purposes.
+
+Vector Data
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Vector data is also used in geospatial applications. If you stayed
+awake during trigonometry and coordinate geometry classes, you will
+already be familiar with some of the qualities of vector data. In
+its simplest sense, vectors are a way of describing a location by
+using a set of coordinates. Each coordinate refers to a geographic
+location using a system of x and y values.
+
+This can be thought of in reference to a Cartesian plane - you
+know, the diagrams from school that showed an x and y-axis. You
+might have used them to chart declining retirement savings or
+increasing compound mortgage interest, but the concepts are
+essential to geospatial data analysis and mapping.
+
+There are various ways of representing these geographic coordinates
+depending on your purpose. This is a whole area of study for
+another day - map projections.
+
+Vector data takes on three forms, each progressively more complex
+and building on the former.
+
+
+#. Points - A single coordinate (x y) represents a discrete
+   geographic location
+
+#. Lines - Multiple coordinates (x1 y1, x2 y2, x3 y4, ... xn yn)
+   strung together in a certain order, like drawing a line from Point
+   (x1 y1) to Point (x2 y2) and so on. These parts between each point
+   are considered line segments. They have a length and the line can
+   be said to have a direction based on the order of the points.
+   Technically, a line is a single pair of coordinates connected
+   together, whereas a line string is multiple lines connected
+   together.
+
+#. Polygons - When lines are strung together by more than two
+   points, with the last point being at the same location as the
+   first, we call this a polygon. A triangle, circle, rectangle, etc.
+   are all polygons. The key feature of polygons is that there is a
+   fixed area within them.

Mapping programs take geospatial data and render it in a form that is viewable, usually on a computer screen or printed page. Applications can present static maps (a simple image) or dynamic maps that are customised by the person viewing the map through a desktop program or a web page."

Satellite imagery also represents data in multiple \"bands\". Each band is essentially a separate, spatially overlapping raster, where each band holds values of certain wavelengths of light. As you can imagine, a large raster takes up more file space. A raster with smaller cells can provide more detail, but takes up more file space. The trick is finding the right balance between cell size for storage purposes and cell size for analytical or mapping purposes."
