Hi Martin,

The workflow would be to identify the source of the existing help text starting
with the Sugar and XO books.
Edit the source material then use the remix feature.

Right, here I am not sure if you have seen: the current Help activity
is a combination of several floss manuals mixed together. And it looks
like it may have some tweaks and customizations.

I think the easier way is have a different floss manual by language.
The Help Activity is only a shell, we can create a e-pub or a content bundle
if we want,
but doing the i18n at this level will be a nightmare.
