First, not everything needs to be translated. Since the majority of development work is done in English, I feel time spent on translating that part of the web site could be better spent translating other things, e.g. documentation, boot disks, GNU utils, gnome, etc. That's just my opinion though.
Secondly, some of the translations aren't very good at keeping pages up to date. There was a proposal a while ago on one way to deal with this. I'd like to see the translation teams take a realistic view of how much they can easily keep up to date, and only translate that much. -- James (Jay) Treacy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
