-The help system is written in many languages. There is currently no
-reference language and we don't support to translate the manual by using
-GNU gettext. This has the following advantages:
-
-    - Every language group and every author can decide how much
-      information he want to provide on a specific topic. He doesn't
-      translate just a string.
-
-    - We can provide an easier fallback to English for our readers,
-      because the layout and structure of each chapter and section
-      doesn't change.
-
-    - This way should encourage collaboration between translations. For
-      example, if a french translator spots a formatting problem in
-      another translation he is able to fix it.
-
-    - The use of DocBook/XML is a format independent container format.
-      
-But obviously there are disadvantages:
-
-    - The DocBook/XML approach has a high entry barrier for people who
-      use text editors only occasionally.
