Hi Rotty, Thanks for your interest for Belier. The english documentation will be ready for monday and I'm going to upload a package with embedded english documentation on mentors.debian.net for the next week. I just wanted to begin the process and that's why I opened an ITP. But definitly I won't let international users without documentations.
