Well, using bzr is not so hard :-) Even the artwork team use it very well (after a little training ;-)) Not having a translation support seems to be a problem. I can't imagine maintaining multiple layouts of offline manual, one for each language :-/ I'm surprised that nothing exist with translation support.
