    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    I am a member of the German QGIS User Group and translation has been
    an issue with us for a long time. We have already set up a special
    team to that, unfortunately with low success so far .. (we also have
    some technical problems with Transifex and wonder how other
    translators solve them, but that is another topic).<br>
    <br>
    But, no excuses: of course the rules should be the same for all
    languages! We also think that something that is only translated
    about 20% can badly be called a "german-language manual" and that
    this is disappointing for users. Therefore, it is of course right no
    longer to publish the german-language manual if it does not fit to
    the requirements.<br>
    <br>
    But I would like to add a personal opinion: I don't know what
    exactly it would mean if a language is no longer published. But if
    that means that only Transifex is available for translation, I fear
    that it will be even more difficult for translation. For me, it is a
    great help if I can access the manual as a complete document to get
    a quick overview of the whole chapter or of what still needs to be
    translated. In Transifex I can only see the paragraph I am
    translating. And I think it might also make it more difficult to
    convince new people to contribute to the translation.<br>
    <br>
    Is there maybe a more resource-friendly way to make the docs
    available online? (of course same for all languages)<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Greetings,<br>
    Jörn<br>

          I've contacted the German QGIS User Group about this topic
          (German <br>
          translation with 21.38% would not be published anymore if the
