[Qgis-community-team] Training manual

[George Irwin]

Yes - translation can go ahead!

There are plans to add some chapters to the English section, but they are being added voluntarily over the course of the next weeks/months in some cases, so I don’t think there’s any reason not to start translation.

Thanks very much!

George
