5. You are almost done.You can start translating as soon as you can... Of course a good idea is to translate the [release notes|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Notes], by using this [copy-template|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=33297828]_ _(please check first if it's not already taken by another user and a working language, usually the title is = " * Copy of AOO 4.0 Release Notes (LANGUAGE?) " ; if anything else please wait for us to recreate a copy or ask here to help you)._
