why not just dont translate it all and start documentation the

for example the German version is extremely bad, don't fit in the
layout and makes totally no sense. everybody i know here in Germany
is using the english version because the documentation and the forum
fits to this.
I think we should make the documentation better and reduce it to 1
usefull Documentation not 4 before we bother to translate it to
french.
This Weblate interface only applies to the parts of LinuxCNC that are
translated using gettext/po. This is currently only the software, *not*
the documentation.
The translations of the documentation has been neglected in LinuxCNC,
largely because it predates good open-source tools for translating docs.
Those tools now exist (po4a!), and a group of developers (primarily
Petter, Steffen, and Silopolis) are working to extend this
gettext/po/Weblate translation system to our documentation, but as you
correctly point out there's a bunch of work that needs to happen to
clean up the docs before that can be useful. It's in the works, but we
want to get feedback on Weblate early.
