The problem is that translated books are not available for LFS SVN, so development versions of the CD cannot include them. Spanish and German translations of LFS-6.3 are indeed available in the HTML format. However, translated books are not available in the XML format. And the last: there were at least two issues with inexact translations in the past on #lfs-support (e.g., a translator forgot to remove an instruction that tells to apply now-obsolete patch), and my proposal for infrastructure changes so that such things could no longer happen (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2006-May/057337.html) remains unimplemented. So, IMHO, translations that are worth including simply don't exist now. -- Alexander E.
