Just to be clear: nothing has been thrown away - your work still exists in
github and if we do come up with an approach that involves manual
translation, we will certainly recycle your work. Our intention to build
the site as english only was declared in the original call for proposals
for the web site here:
https://blog.qgis.org/2023/10/03/call-for-proposals-qgis-website-overhaul-2023-2024/
.

Marco and I will soon share our rationale why we think translation of the
web site should not be done, and if those proponents of keeping the
translations in place can provide a stronger argument to the contrary we
will certainly integrate any prior work wherever we can.

Tim
