Visual changelog, case study pages are exactly the same, a lot of<br>
other (larger) pages are (text-wise) almost the same.<br>
Translating just ONE changelog page took ~week of work. All of that<br>
was thrown away. It is hard to guess the (unstated/un-communicated)<br>
benefit/justification of losing all of that hard work of unpaid<br>
volunteers. It will take a lot of time till I will want to translate<br>
again :-(<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">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.
