No translation for 2.12? I'd prefer to have *translatable* any published
manual. When helping someone on a french forum, it's rather rude to send
him an english link doc (not that french don't speak english :) but... ).
And it means that since 2.8, there won't be translated documentation (in
spite of those many new features) until next LTR?
Wouldn't it be better to keep active our translators (a kind of
"rendez-vous") after each release? This could be easy if the call for
crowfunding is a success.
