The index has never been used in previous versions so I didn't pay much 
attention to it and also because the search capabilities of most pdf 
readers make it more or less useless. But as a paper version is in work 
I'll have a look at it, my advice for translation is to setup a specific 
wiki page where each of your contributors can write how he exactly 
translated it (to prevent the multiplication of index items).
