internationalization is the main topic, I think, we should provide it or not?
for some reason yes, newbie some times would like to have material in
their native language, for some other reason is really difficult to
maintain it updated because people start to work on it and after
disappear.

Use some simple tool as Transfixer [0] maybe could be useful

this is really cool material I have some question:
- could be this documentation moved in some official GRASS page
(maintaining of course ncsu affiliation)
- do you have any idea how simple could be translate it?
