Both the Japanese and Portuguese manuals seem to have been published for
Derby 10.2 and not updated since then. Currently the Portuguese manuals
are linked to both from 10.2 and the Latest Alpha Manuals. The Japanese
ones are linked to only from the Latest Alpha Manuals. It might make
sense to have links to both sets under the 10.2 manuals and nowhere else.

Every couple years we wonder whether we should continue to publish the
unmaintained Japanese and Portuguese variants of our user docs. At
this point, these variants look so out-of-date to me that I recommend
removing them from our website and our future release
distributions. We can leave them in the docs svn repository in case
someone wants to dust them off and bring them up-to-date.
I volunteer to do the work of removing them from the website and from
the release generation process on the trunk. Does anyone object? Does
anyone see a compelling reason to continue publishing these variants?
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English manuals that we keep on the website, as the outdated English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.
