Yes, and kindly asking for permission to translate a tutorial from language A to language B would be a start. The more languages we can cover, the more photographers will come aware of alternatives to the "industrial standards" we all know (and most of the participants of this mailing list don't want to use anymore). By the way, it is astounding how much sense even a google translated text can make if you have some basic understanding of the topic in question. And brushing up this rough translation should be no real problem to a native speaker, really. Additionally, translations to english for non english speakers should use a language as simple as possible. So, the simpler language you use, the more non english speakers will be able to follow. Therefore, even very rough translations will find an audience. All that is missing right now for spreading the know-how of working with darktable further is the determination of the audience to put the work required in and, maybe, a centralized place to store these tutorials or the links to these tutorials.
