we don't want to keep a deadline only for the sake of the deadline. We should be simply realistic, if nobody works on it we won't get one and it makes no sense to postpone the release because of a missing online help for one feature. We have released languages where the online help is not or only partial localized.

If not I would move it to 4.1 because I believe that the online help is not so important .
