Duplicating the glossary into languages directories would be complicated and not clean, so let's reley on FIXME comments added. Speaking of, I'm not fluent enough in vocals vocabulary nor in English to add good definitions for some vocal terms in the glossary, so I leave this stuff up to somebody else; I hope there is somebody on this list that can do it... > And then while having a look at this document, there is quite clearly > pointed out who translated what language.

Of course. I have planned to add a translation status page that would report in tables which sections are translated, who translated/polished/updated them and how up-to-date they are. However, it's better not to make current translations status publicly available, until some sections (at least tutorial, pitches, rhythms and a part of learning manual) are completely revised in Englsih and translated.
