I was talking about both things, because for me they are related. For many
people the non existence of a translation means there is no documentation
at all! So they go to the list and ask you absurd questions that are
explained first thing in the documentation, and I can not tell them to
RTFM because they can't :-(

No, no, that should not be needed. If that is the case, you have to tell
the developpers. I meant that we have to look sometimes at the source code
to get the context and meaning of isolated sentences, but I don't even try
to touch the code. Some times the code has comments that clarify things.

Sorry about the confussion. In my messages I talked about both things,
perhaps you didn't notice.
