Thanks for volunteering, Rick. Since the translated manuals haven't been updated in many years, I think it's fine to stop producing them for new releases. I'd say we should keep them on the website for the already released versions, though, so they can be accessed if someone still finds them useful. They're probably more useful than the old versions of the English manuals that we keep on the website, as the outdated English manuals have alternatives that are newer and better. -- Knut Anders
