Sounds like a great approach. In any case, I guess the important part is actually writing the translation - the resulting format is only relevant once there is actual text to use with it.
I’m creating a repo for a Portuguese (Brazil) translation: https://github.com/vinivendra/the-swift-programming-language-portuguese-br I’ll probably copy some of the structure you already created, for practicality as well as standardization.
