Being Dutch, and therefore used to use other people's language rather than my own to get in contact with someone, I'm probably not representative for the entire community. I however feel that there should be as little effort put into translation of documentation as possible. Cocoon itself is in English, the common language of the mailing lists is English (and therefore the documentation) and 99% of the documentation of the 'external' (i.e. non-Cocoon development) components are in English, 99.9% of any documentation on IT projects is in English. So, if you want to use Cocoon, you need to understand English. If you do, what benefit is there in a translated version of a document? I'm a Translator School graduate, so I know how much effort a good translation takes and it only adds up to the total number of documents to maintain. NOTE: there is no such thing as an automated translation of good quality, so all effort is manual. I'd rather have this effort put into writing good/better/missing English docs. Bye, Helma
