If that's all it takes, use google translate. At least then people know the translation may not be accurate. As it is, putting something on the www.openbsd.org site makes it look official, but I have no idea if the things the translations are true or not. Hell, the English pages contain enough lies. crypto.html would be comically outdated except if it's comical at all. The effort spent translating that page into Dutch (as if they can't read English in .nl) would have been far better spent improving the content. Which is more important? The convenience of reading that OpenBSD uses MD5 in your native language, or reading that OpenBSD actually uses much better hashing algorithms than MD5? This is the same argument as the people demanding we refresh the web site with fancy CSS and rounded corners while completely ignoring the fact that the words are the important part.
