Hi Tim,
I'm aware that it's possible to translate Django documentation. I also know 
that it's translated to french only.

My question is one step behind: Does it makes sense to translate Django 
documentation and (more important) keep it updated? Would anyone use it? Is 
English language the common tongue for programmers? Why is Django docs 
translated to one language only? There isn't enough translators or users 
just don't find it useful?

I asked the same question in Czech django user group and most of them 
agreed that it doesn't make sense to translate whole Django documentation. 
It would make sense to translate materials for beginners, like tutorials, 
django book, etc.


So, at the moment, I don't care about the *tool* or *process*. I'm trying 
to figure it out if there is some kind of motivation to do this stuff.

Cheers,
   Tom
